Default Getting Cam off Distributor ?

I'm having a problem getting the points cam off the distributor shaft. The hold-down screw was extremely tight and now that I have it off the cam it will not slide off the shaft. I'm putting new points in and want to reset the timing and remove the top plate. Any Suggestion???

Mix up some ATF and Acetone 50/50 and dribble it in.
