I'm not sure if this work on the Packard 8 engine or not:

Pull the CAM gear as far off of the cam as u can. ASSUMING the lifters are removed then try sliding the cam reward back into the block as far as possible and move the Cam gear further off of the cam. Just be careful not to jam the cam against the rear of the block. Usualy there is a welch plug at the back of the block in line with the cam. If the cam is jammed hard against the welch plug it will drive the welch plug OUT or loosen it to the point of leaking.

Most likely tho u should be able to remove the CRANK gear as out lined in the post above.
