Most distributors have a drive gear that is held on by a taper or split pin-
remove the gear and the entire drive shaft will come out of the housing-

Or a roll pin through the gear.

This was as standard repair at one time, new oilite bushings
in the housing. Of course, those distributors also used to
come standard with an oil cup or grease fittings.
