did you check to see if any of the lifters may not be up all the way or that one may have sliped down a little causing it to hang up?

may need to get a better grip on the cam, rotat the cam as you remove it slowly pulling it out, may have to force it some.

the cam bearing is pressed in with a tool, you can get a little ruff with it, check everything on the lifters.
