Help needed

Hey there. I started putting on my new timing set, everything cool until right here. The cam sprocket (old one) does not want to slide off the camshaft. Have wiggled and tried to pry with fingers to no avail. The crank sprocket will just slide off. Could I use a puller? I don't want to damage anything. (I did take out the bolt on the camshaft yes.) Is this something I could use a prybar on? I was thinking not, might mess up the balance or whatever the cam needs to be true. Any and all suggestions appreciated fellas. Thanks a bunch, Blair T
