 The ignition sprocket on my 74 Jensen was developing some play at the end so I needed to remove it to see what's up.  Not sure if this was because of the timing belt being too tight or what, but it was severe enough that it was starting to slightly rub on the housing and definitely not spinning evenly.  This sprocket seems to be identical to the intake and exhaust cam sprockets.  It's secured by an Allen hex end bolt unlike the intake and exhaust sprockets.  After removing the end bolt, the sprocket does not come off the end of the shaft.  I know there is some kind of a clip or keeper at the end.  Any ideas how to proceed from here so I can remove it?   Also any ideas how deep I'll be diving into my pocket if I have to replace this?

Any advice out there would be appreciated.  Thanks!
