Crank timing gear

Well its time to replace the crank gear prior to putting every thing back together. I searched the forum and found some information saying the crank gear has two holes drilled in it for easy removal, Well this one I have does not have any threaded holes. So, Just to ensure I have it right I will use a bearing puller to remove it. It looks as if I can squeeze it behind the back of the gear and the block. Does anyone have any other means or tips aside from pulling the crank which I would like to rule out as an option. Any advice or reccomendations are welcome. Thanks
Joe

Well, a litle bit of heat, a clean pickle fork and a few taps with a hammer got it far enough away from the block to use a standard gear puller, success!!
