We had good luck last year on the hardened gears on the drill motors with a cold chisel a block of steel and a ball peen hammer. I would test this on a softer gear for a motor that you are not going to use or a spare. I just put the chisel (a small one, that didn't fit to the bottom between the teeth,and not too wide) between two teeth with a helper holding the motor and the block of steel under the gear, and gave it a good whack. It split the gear almost down the center and the remainder came off with a gentle tug with fingers. I don't know if this is an excepted method, but it did more for us.
