Camshaft removal

I'm in the process of disassembling my 1296 engine and have run into a  snag. 
 I can't get the camshaft all the way out because it runs into the  gear 
below the distributor.  That gear should just lift out but it  doesn't.  I've 
even 
tried to get the oil pump out from the other end but it  is also stuck.  My 
next step is to tap the pump body with a hammer to  loosen it up and hopefully 
pry it out.  Is there something I'm missing or a  trick for this procedure?
 
Thanks,
 
James '66 Spitfire
