You are going to need a three arm puller for it. IT may take a few tries to get it on right but once you do it will be ok. I did one on my Camaro an it was alot easier than my Vette. I broke 2 pullers on the Vette and finally borrowed a really nice one from a GM mechanic buddy of mine to pull it. With that pulley, It was alot easier with that puller. Good luck.

The puller I borrowed from Pep Boys worked fine. Just take your time and don't be afraid to re-postion the jaws a few times.
