I had the same problem, and had to use a different 3 jaw puller than the first one I tried. I rented it from Pep Boys, and they had 3 sizes. I can't remember now whether it was the mid size or the big one that worked the best, but I'm thinking it was the biggest one.

I had to use a big 3 jaw puller around the outside of the pulley (I know, not the best as it may separate) as a smaller puller would slip off and bend, even secured on every arm.
