Spray some PB Blaster penetrating oil on that intermediate shaft gear so it runs down over the edge on the the shaft that drives the oil pump.
Let it sit overnight, then large tip screw driver that you can get in there. Then rotate the distributor drive gear clockwise and rotate the driver gear and shaft up out of there.
Now you can get on to priming with the oil pump.
