Default SLP under drive pulley removal

I just installed a new cam, valve springs, ported LS6 oil pump, LS2 timing chain and SLP under drive pulley. When I installed the oil pump I reused the old o ring ( I know how stupid that was). Now I am trying to remove the under drive pulley to install the new o ring. I tried using a 3 arm pulley puller with no luck then I read I needed a 3 bolt pulley puller so I went to autozone and rented one. Now while screwing one of the bolts in it broke off in my pulley and another one bent after I tightened it and tried to remove it. Now I cant get the pulley off. I have tried using an easy out to remove the broken bolt but haven't tried very much. is there another way to get the pulley off?

Where in Va are you? I've always used three arm pullers.

Southwest Va. Near the Kentucky, West Virginia line. I tried that but it was like the puller got in and or something and was hard to turn.

I had to remove my Powerbond, (same pulley from what I've read) and I had to use the 3 bolt one that looks like a steering wheel puller. It wasn't very easy. I had to turn it with my 18" breaker bar until it wouldn't move any farther. Then I would take the socket off the breaker bar, put it on the end of the stud of the puller and smack the socket a few times with a mini-sledge hammer. After that I could get a few more turns and I would have to repeat the process again. I did that until I finally got it off, not a fun job.
