Lol if you're trying to take the oil pump off without removing the crank pulley and timin gear it's never gonna happen. Take off the 19 mm bolt from the crank remove the pulley and don lose the key. Then remove the timing gear make sure u have all the 10mm from the pump and slide it off

it should just slide out try hitting it with a rubber mallet to try to get it lose so u can just slide it out

Spray some pb blaster on it you will have to wiggle it back and forth... Maybe try a bigscrrwdriver behind the gear be careful not to break thegear

pry it off nice stong flathead and same goes for the pump because of the gasket

just remember to be careful if you have a us engine, the crank timing gear has the teeth on it for the cylinder position sensor, and if you break any teeth off the gear you will need to buy a new one, and theyre not cheap.

thanks for the info guys, i got the gear off, i had to align it with a notch on the oil pump and it slid right off. the pump is still stuck though, it has to be the gasket.

It's just hondabond it shouldn't be hard to get off. Make sure you didn't miss a bolt if they're all out use a rubber mallet on the inside of the oil pump and hit it off. The pump should have 2 dowel pins holding it to the block that's probaly what's stuck. From under the car just tap the pump off. If you don't have a rubber mallet wrap a towel or something around a hammer to soften the blow and don't hit it too hard. On second thought you're prolly replacing the pump cuz there's really no other reason to remove it. If you're replacing it hit it as hard as you want lol
