Big crank pulley problem. PLEASE HELP!!!!

I started my cam swap today. Everything was going pretty smoothly until I got to the crank pulley. The big bolt came out of the crank just fine so I installed the 3 arm puller and went to town. The pulley had come off a little bit then all of the sudden BANG the puller came off. I looked down hoping the puller was what had broken but unfortunately it was one of the lips off the inside circle on the pulley. I know I'll have to get a new pulley but can anyone tell me how in the hell to get this thing off now that there's only two spots for the puller to grab. Thanks in advance for your help guys.

It will work I promise(from experience) just take your time and make sure you square up the puller as best as you can. Now you dont have to replace the crank pully JUST because one of the ears broke off but it will make it harder to remove incase you need to do it again, but YOU should be installig a underdrive pully anyway

and they come off with a old style of puller....
