You should use a gear puller. I've also heard that a good tap on a chisel in a few places will break it too.
Then on the other side, you should also use a gear pusher to put the gear back on. Heavy pounding on the end of the crank can do damage.

Having owned a LS6 for years, I always thought that if you ordered the LS6 option, that you could not get any other power users like a/c or power steering which would lower the 450 HP of the engine. Power brakes were part of the option and therefore the ONLY power device on the engine.
