Have you got a great puller? If you can't get a pulley between the gear and the bearing then I doubt you will.

You might get it all off by heating the timing and dizzy gears using a good torch. Don't be shy with the heat - and keep the torch moving round with the crank suspended vertically, gears downwards. Do the dizzy gear first. It's surprising how much they expand and sometimes they just drop off, but a couple of screwdrivers in the gaps might help. Don't burn yourself - wear good thick leather gloves. Good luck

Don't despair - heat up the timing gear and chances are it will come off without too much of a fight. Over the years we have all made mistakes like this! I once built an engine and noticed the cam followers in a box just as I was torqueing the heads. I bet my bad language was at least equal to yours
