New one on me, Jeffrey. Normally it just slides off and the pump plunger
snaps out as it slides off the cam.

I'd sure be cautious about applying more force. They're kind of fragile and
expensive ...
Although I can't see how it could be caught, it might be worth pulling the
pump out. That would ensure the problem is not that it's plunger is caught
on something. If you do, be sure to remove the check ball in the side
first, as otherwise it will raise a burr on the pump that will ruin the
casting as it's pulled out.
