You need to lock the gear with something- usually what I do, if an impact wrench is not available, is to leave the timing belt on, and wedge something into the gear & belt at about the 5-o-clock position, then try to loosen the bolt. If the head is already off, you could probably rig up a way to hold the gear using the old belt, and maybe a C-clamp or visegrip to keep the belt from turning. A second pair of hands is probably needed here to avoid making other problems.
A strap wrench is another great tool- either the nylon belt type used for plumbing or even the kind for removing oil filters. Again, another person would help keep things in place while you remove the bolt.
Sometimes a sharp rap on the wrench with a hammer will help break it loose. Good luck!
