I have a 97 crv that I recently purchased and repaired several issues. The lady I bought it from stated the timing belt had been changed not long ago. So I'm driving down the road and the car cuts off and cranks but won't start, needless to say the timing belt broke. I have removed everything to replace the belt and was in process to replace the cam and crank seals. Cam seals no problem removing but the crank gear won't budge using long screwdriver, 18" pry bar, and liquid wrench, and have already snapped several teeth on the back of the gear. I also tried a puller with no luck and broke more teeth. Not sure what to do to remove it.

Need a pic to see where you're talking about ideally.
Yea, I googled the part after I asked for a picture.
As others have stated, it sounds seized on there, and I'm assuming you've used copious amounts of penetrating oil like WD40, so most likely heat will be needed.
As it is sitting on a splined drive, tolerances will be tight anyway. So ideally needs to be pulled equally from all sides, not an easy task if the engine is still in the car. Seeing as you have to remove the cylinder head, is it worth biting the bullet and taking the block out too to give you better access?

Respect for the effort you put in there buddy. Looks like a pig of a job
