Default Aftermarket underdrive pulley removal

About a year ago I bought an aftermarket "fluid dampener" type underdrive pulley for my Camaro. I bought it off Ebay new at buy-it-now price of $99.99. The pulley has performed great..... (unknown brand)

Removing this pulley is a different story. It has 3 threaded bolt holes, but they are far apart, and none of the pulley removal tools around here have enough spacing to fit. My 3 jaw puller keeps slipping off the outside.

Has anybody else had this problem with this pulley or have any good ideas to get it off?

Thanks

Yeah, get a bigger bolt type puller. Using the jaw type can distort the pulley and make it trash.

I ran into the same problem and had to have one custom made at work. Most standard balancer removers won't work.
