Homemade primer tool?

Ok yes I'm cheap! but after getting $9.95 handling for a $12.95 part @ summit. Lets not go there. So I do have another distributor with points that I'd like to keep functional (aka not grind off the gear) I started to remove the gear by pushing the pin out. However it would seem it does not slide off the end of the shaft. ??

Can the distributor be disassembled ? How is it done properly before I mess this thing up TIA

I have used a 1/4 inch drive deep socket with 1/4 drive extension and drill to prime pumps.

Use a piece of paper wedge between the top of socket and 1/4" extension to keep the socket from coming off. Good luck.

Yep, I use the thin wall 1/4 socket, but with a hand speed wrench.

I used a 3/8 drill when I pimed mine, and it worked my drill pretty hard.
