Yes.  It doesn't matter how good your distributor is; if the rotor is junk 
it will still run like shit.

you can either pull it off, or if it doesn't want to, then you crush 
it.  I've installed them without adhesive, but they were awfully tight to 
begin with.  I don't really want to say don't do and have something mess up 
you.  But if it even close to being loose I would not hesitate to use adhesive.
