The wire clip is down in the rotor housing hole and is a bit of a pain to get out. I had to mess around with it with needle nose pliers for a while to get it out. Remove it, unscrew everything, and then you will see that the bottom plate that everything is bolted to is removable and beneath that is the advance mechanism.
Here is an article that might be useful. It's for slightly older model Ford distributors, but most of the principles should be the same.
