Use a small 3/8" impact and you'll be able to get in there. The bolt shouldn't be that tight. When we shot the video for this job, we held one of the cam pulleys with a special tool and the belt was able to hold the crankshaft timing gear while we loosened the 19mm crank bolt. There is a chance you could skip a tooth doing this but I doubt it. Like I said, the bolt shouldn't be that tight just from turning over the engine. But, the safer option is an impact.
The crankshaft timing gear does have two threaded bolt holes which are a M6 x 1.0 thread pitch. Like Charlie said, you could make your own holder tool with some scrap metal or a piece of wood.
