Default Crank pulley won't come off. Help

Bought the set of 4 3 way puller from harbor freight and also rented the biggest one from autozone. None of them dint even make the thing budge I grabbed from the inside fins of the balancer and pulled away I broke 2 of mine and the one from auto zone the bolt on that thing was bending so I left it.

The engine is a lq4 came out a truck that was hit in the front.

Any ideas on what I can do next guys

Will try both...the smaller puller less stress on bot and pry it at the same time. Thanks

Sounds to me like the pulley was smashed onto the crank snout further than its supposed to go. Try heating it up then use the puller. If that doesn't work allow it to cool and try again, if still nothing try re heating and repeat.
