Angry SLP crank pulley will not come off, help!

It's been on for just over a year and i'm doing a custom cam now but the pulley is being a bitch! The bolt came out easy, I then got a harmoic balancer puller on it and it came off about halfway but then breakage started. First time it popped off the bolt took about half the threads from the SLP pulley right out of the pulley itself! Then a 10 grade bolt sheered right in half. So I moved to a big 3 jaw puller and it came about another 1/4 of the way off before it sheered the puller itself, I got another one and now it just spins on the end of the crank. I then heated the **** out of it with a torch and tried it, now it just spins easier on the crank. I have a screwdriver through the flywheel and it's holding strong btw.

WTF should I do? I'm going nuts, anyone have any ideas?

Best advice for any home mechanic out there. I took me about 10 years to learn that trick.
You'll get it OP.

Well I got the chrysler style puller and it came right off, I couldn't believe how easy it was. Thanks for your help!

Glad it worked...I posted that thread because I damn near lost my mind trying to get it off with a regular 3-jaw puller.
