If all that is left is the central hub you will need to bite the bullet and CAREFULLY create some room to attach the arms of a puller or get a screwdriver between the thrust plate and the hub by... tapping with a hammer.

Give it a firm but not wild tap then grab it and pull. After just one tap you should have room to get a leverage device in there. The idea is to not allow the cam to go forward or backward enough to either drive out the plug (a fair distance) or drop the lifters off the lobes!

The best thing to do is replace the nut so that you cannot drive the cam in more than 1/8" then smack it (with care). Once the hub is loose it should come off with a minimum of fuss.
