I used a pry bar on the flywheel through the small access hole at the bottom of the trans to hold it. I made my own tool to push the new pulley onto the crankshaft. I think I spent like $15 on parts to make it. A threaded rod, some washers and nuts. Im not sure on the size but if you do a search Im sure you can find it. It worked like a charm, took me like 5 mins to get it on.

I have an auto as well and what I did was take off the starter and put a large allen wrench in one of the holes of the flexplate through the opening where the starter was to keep the motor from spinning and a breaker bar with a long piece of pipe over the top of it for a cheater bar for extra leverage to break the bolt loose (give me a lever long enough and I could move the world). I used a normal 3 arm puller from the local parts store but used a bolt that did not have a flange in place of the stocker for the puller to push against so that the pulley would clear the bolt when removing the pulley. When I went to put the new pulley on I heated it up with a torch for a couple of minutes first so that it would expand for more clearance to fit over the nose of the crank so that it would slide on most of the way by just pushing it on by hand. Slipped on like butter and got it on more than enough to get the bolt going. Just remember that the GM bolt is a torque to yield bolt and must be replaced. I do not remember the numbers on the final torquing procedure but if you do not have installation instructions with them I am sure they are around here somewhere.

Buy the tool, use it, sell it. I don't understand why people want to do things themselves to save money but don't want to buy the tools to do the job. I spent $80 to have mine installed, was definitely worth it! Didn't have to buy extra tools, didn't have to stress about the install, etc.
