Looking in the B18A manual (not shown in the B18B/D manual) it looks like it has a thin
internally threaded sleeve that screws onto the nose of the cam.
The hole in the end of the cam is just a center hole for grinding.
If you thought that light tapping on the gear would push the soft plug out of the back
of the block, what made you think pulling it down with bolts wouldn't do the same?
I usually tap the gear lightly but start with the camshaft pulled forward and tap with
something lighter than the camshaft. Almost always gets it far enough on to start
the nut.
