Distributor won't budge.
 
Hi.I have been doing a lot of work on my 2001 Dodge Ram 1500 4x4 5.9L.I am replacing The Radiator,Water Pump and Timing Chain.In the process of replace the chain I realized the distributor was off it is not pointing at the #1 but at the driver's side tire.I made all the proper marks on the distributor and removed the hold down bolt.Well I can't get the thing to budge I have blasted it with PB Blaster and it hasn't done anything.I can't seem to get it up enough to get a pry bar under it.I'm thinking it is the O-ring jamming it up.Does anyone have any Ideas or suggestions?

Welcome to DF

Is the rotor pointed to the number 6? If it is, don't touch! When the timing marks are lined up on the gears, doesn't mean the timing is off at the distributor. Put the front end back together and start the engine.
