Yes my van quit so I pulled the distributor cap. I turn engine and rotor does not turn. I Pull shaft and all out and feel that the gear located in the crank case is broken. So can I drop the oil pan to repair this.

First, have you tried to hold the rotor and spin the gear on the distributor> It could be the roll pin or key broke! You could fix that yourself either by replaceing the busted pin, or the whole distributor.
