Well, you could try to rig up some contraption involving clamps, though that may prove to be tricky. If you have a torch of some kind you could try heating it up and pulling the gear off, a good propane torch should only be $20-$30 with a tank. If that seems to scary you could also try taking off the gear with a grinder. If all else fails attack it with a hacksaw. If you're really worried about hurting something with the hammer/vise technique, strap a softer metal (aluminum or copper) to the hammer head so that you won't scarrify anything.
