37 Packard 115C Valve Train

Hello again,
I am looking for some guidance on breaking down the engine from the #1 Packard 6 previously discussed. I was able to get all 12 valve springs and valves out of the block, so the cam shaft and tappets spin freely. A couple of the valve guides broke upon removal of the valves. No big deal I said, I could hit or drill them out. I am having some trouble doing that, since the metal seams are hard to discern and I really don't have a good understanding of what this style of guide looks like anyway. Does anyone have a trick to this? Which way are they supposed to be driven out, top or bottom? Have I already made a mistake drilling them out to 1/2" (which I did)? Does the cam slide out from the front or back? Any lessons from experience would be very helpful. Thank you!
