Have never personally run into that predicament...maybe large enough vice grip locking pliers to the "hub" area for puller jaws to hook over?? How tight is the gear onto the crank? If not too tight maybe a brass drift at hub and "tap" it off?
GOOD LUCK!

Thanks for your ideas the gear is super tight which is why I had to heat it to get it on the plier idea is feasible I was considering welding something to it for the puller to attach to is that an option do u think?

IF you are going to replace this gear(strongly recommended) afterwards then whatever means you use to make some kind of "grab" area would work. I would be careful of reuse after this predicament and buy a new crank gear.
Make sure you tell us how this all "plays out"!
