What pulley puller have you used to get the stock crank pulley off the crank shaft? I just got some loaner from Advanced Auto that won't go wide enough to reach the middle section of the pulley, and the outside lip definetely isn't strong enough to hold it...need to figure out which one will fit it and not give me any problems...don't want to strain my crankshaft bolt threads...

I've used the loaner tool at Advance Auto and a Craftsman one that Grimes mentioned. I put an electric impact gun on the end of the three pronged tool, and hit the trigger. Harmonic balancer comes right off with little effort doing it this way.

thanks for the help guys. ended up getting it off with the standard advance pulley puller. I was trying to fit it around the outside lip instead of the ears that sit within the pulley...
