How do I get the timing belt over the crankshaft to put on the timing gear that connected to the crankshaft.

I am not sure what you are saying, can you please upload an image or short video? I think you need to remove the front dampener, here is how the job is done. This video shows the job being done on a similar car, the procedure is the same
