I just came in from the shop to get some lunch. Working on the same project... With everything I have read here and the Cummins mechs I has spoke with, pull the whole cam and not just the gear.

Yup cam has to come out to replace the timing case.
Theres some good videos on Youtube showing the fix.
Check out the first few vids for sure:

I'm working on my KDP case swap again this weekend. Only have a few hours each week to pick at it. Luckily it's indoors as the high today is about 6 degrees. Having read a ton of posts here and watched the videos has helped, but I still have a few questions. First of which is, does the injector pump have to come off to get the case off..? It would appear that if you were to pull the gear, the pump could stay in place..? Second, if the pump stays in place could you make alignment marks on the gear, shaft, pump, block, etc. and get away with not having to time the engine..? Thanks.

as long as u dont spin the pump shaft or turn the crank put the crank and cam timing marks together and kinda bump it back and forth so theres no gear pressure on it for when u pull injection pump gear and no the injection pump does not need to come off. It doesnt matter what position u put the injection pump gear back on i wouldnt bother marking them either it takes a lota force to roll over tht injection pump, and as far as tht kdp i weld my front holes shut, i bought a tab like every1 else torqued everything and the material they use is to hard and causes it not to torque right or stay tight even with red lock tight, so the last 3 i hve done i took a tig welder and welded the front hole shut...
