I have always removed the factory style camshafts using a coat hanger to support the rear of the camshaft so that the camshaft goes easily thru the #4 camshaft bearing (which also happens to be about 6 inches from the end of the camshaft. Then do the same routine on the other camshaft bearing locations.
You can see the camshaft, just slip the hanger curve past the lifter bores and locate it as far to the rear as you can on the cam.
Then gently pull on the timing gear while finding the center of the next camshaft bearing. Patience and it comes out pretty easily.
