Default Removing LS4 harmonic dampner

I need to pull the harmonic dampner from an LS4. Does anybody know what sort of puller GM recommends for this job? These don't have threaded holes in them to use a regular puller.

Why do you need to pull the dampner?

I think they stopped making them if it was broke or something. Nobody has figured out the similar part, but those pullers come up for other vehicles that might have the same balancer.

Maybe a cam swap.

I am pulling it to install it on an LS1 that is going into a Porsche Boxster. I have made an adapter to mount the engine to the transmission and I am putting the LS4 parts on the front to make the engine as short as possible. I will be using the LS4 dampner and water pump with the Porsche alternator, P/S pump, and A/C compressor.
Does anybody have a photo, or know here I can find one, of the puller? I assume that it fits into the holes in the pulley to pull it since there are no tapped holes to bolt to like most balancers have.
