Two choices: use the special distributor drive puller, or take the engine completely apart. I recommend the puller.

The distributor is a single unit. Set the engine to top dead center. Make a witness mark on the distributor body and the engine case to reassemble and re-align the unit. Remove the distributor clamp holding the distributor in place. Remove and mark the wires. Pull the distributor straight up and out of the engine case. The shaft is keyed and should be in the body of the distributor. Reassembly is the reverse procedure.

Remove the clamp for distributor. Remove distributor, making a note how it is orientated for #1 position. Also check which way slot in drive faces for reasssembly. With a strong magnet, reach down in distributor hole and allow magnet to pull up on distributor drive gear...if it is reluctant to move...rotate drive gear back and foreward with a screwdriver in the gear center, while pulling up with the magnet. Drive also turns the oil pump and it may need a slight engine turn to free it up..

How do you remove the distributor directly from the drive and how hard is it to do?
It depends how the distributor is driven, if it is an ohv engine or the distributor is driven by a shaft in the side of the cyl block, the distributor should be driven by a helical gear. To remove this you loosen the pinch bolt at the base of the distributor that clamps it onto the engine, give it a wiggle side to side and just pull until it comes out. Obviously remove the wires and plug leads first, noting the order the leads are in and replace them EXACTLY as they came off, also mark the body of the distributor to a mark on engine block so when it is re-fitted, the marks line up for easy timing. Hope this helps
