You have 3 choices...

1. drop the engine

2. TRY to remove it with a small 90 degree phillips (and risk a trip to the local mental hospital)

3. cut the wires, leave it where it is, and add a new one somewhere else (like under the side cover near the coil.

The original location was obviously chosen by a devious sadist who slipped thru Honda's background check system!

Note the old condenser also serves as the wire from the coil to the points, going from the coil all the way to the front of the engine, and then back to the points.......so, unless you buy an exact replacement condenser, you may want to save the old wires with the heat shield section for re-use.
