Default Pulling the Crank Sprocket

How to I remove this? I tried a 3 jaw puller, but the teeth were to big to fit between the gear and the block. What do you use?

Thats the crank sprocket, and I massaged your title a little bit to be more accurate and get you more responses.

I have a GM puller I bought while working at GM I use, but I'm sure others will fill in with the pullers they have.

I just took the one that I have and ground the ends down on it a little bit so they would fit. Be carefull and dont gind to much or you will break your puller.

You can buy the correct tool for this off of fleabay for around $10.

i used the pulley install tool (from hawk on here) and put my old sprocket in between the two to make it be able to seat all the way IIRC.

This should be the right tool, as least the part # is correct but there is no photo. Link
