Presume this is an RB block and you are trying to remove the oil pump distributor drive. If you have not removed the distributor mark rotor position and remove it. Take note of distributor drive slot. The drive can be pulled using a per of long needle nose pliers while turning counter clockwise pull upward on the gear it should turn out of cam drive. Install new drive to same alignment is old one. You may have to use an oil pump primer shaft to aline oil pump drive so that it will drop in place. When every thing is back it alignment put distributor back in.

You can use a big flat blade screwdriver. Stick it in the distributor slot and turn it counter clockwise and it should slide out of the cam gear. Then use a long needle nose or magnet to pull it out.
