March underdrive removal help...

A buddy has the March underdrive pulley on his car and I am going to install a cam for him. I noticed that the 3 holes that you use to bolt a balancer puller on are spread further out than the ASP. The problem is that all the pullers I see out there are too small. So 2 ?'s...

1. Anyone know of a larger tool?

2. The other option is to use a 3 jaw puller. I know this is not the best method since you have to grab the outside edge. Can this possibly hurt the damper?

BTW: This is the 1st tool I am referring to...

Thanks,
Jason

Been there, done that many many times. I just used a big 3 jaw puller large enough to hook it on the backside of the pulley and pull it off. I've pulled mine off and put it back on at least 4 or 5 times. Still going strong. As far as I know that's the easiest way.

That should work. Looks about the size of the one I used. Just make sure you get it all the way over the pulley and hook it on the back of it, not just on one of the lips where the belt fits. It will be a SOB to get that thing perfectly on there so that it pulls evenly/doesn't keep falling off/etc. Just take your time.
