You're only the 100,000th person to do this. Don't take off the pan. Get a Soda Straw (actually an extra large McDonald's straw works the best). Shove it around your pump shaft. Use the straw to drop the shaft down the hole. Keep moving it around untill you can feel it positively engage with the pump. This may take a few minutes of trial and error. You know you've got it when you can lift the shaft slightly and it still won't rotate. Stick a straight piece of coat hanger, or a welding rod, down the straw to hold the shaft down while you pull the straw off of it. Install the distributor.
Good luck!
