Default For those that have pulled the crankshaft sprocket

If you have pulled the crankshaft sprocket, what did you use? Did you break down and spend the money for the expensive Kent-Moore tool/s, or were you able to use a bearing splitter/puller. If so, do you remember the size or do you have a source I can buy one at? Thanks!

I used a small 3-jaw puller.

3 jaw puller here then I threw my new crank sprocket in the oven to heat it up a bit. I then used my old sprocket, lined it up and tapped against it to seat the new one once it slid on.
