I'm confused with your statement that a small piece of the aluminum distributor base is tight to the gear itself, and not wanting to come off.

You need to pull the aluminum distributer base out of the block before you remove the gear-drive. Maybe that is what you mean. You cannot remove the gear with the base in place.

It is not unusual for the gear to be stubborn when trying to pull it out.
Be sure you are twisting as you pull, and work it back and forth as mentioned. Don't just try to yank it straight out.
