I'll  prep it for pump removal and than try a quick pry and plastic hammer. 
Usually  I or the item getting pried and beaten gets damaged so I'll try 
until I get  that just a litter harder should work feeling and than try a 
puller. I did  think of dropping the engine but than there will be the wile your

I've never had a problem pulling a pump gear by putting some pry  tension 
behind it, backing the nut flush with the end of the shaft and one or  two 
solid hits with a medium hammer.  Nothing huge but not soft  either.
