Stuck distributor gear 318la

Ok thanks for the replys, after getting back from dinner out with the wife I sprayed down the top of the shaft with PB Blaster, I did also index the distributor before removing it, I'll try again tomorrow after it soaks, I might dump some marvel mystery oil to then I'll try the other tricks mentioned above, thanks for the help. What a PIA, wish the distributor was in the front like a big block!
