Be sure you are at top dead center when you take off the springs or else you will pulling the heads . You could take out your spark plugs and take one of your pushrods put it in the spark plug hole of whatever cylinder you are working on and rotate the crank slowly and see where the pushrod peaks out the most and that will be top dead center .
Also be sure not to strip out the threads inside the crank . If you bought the car used and someone has been messing with the crank bolt already by putting that aftermarket pulley on there you do not know the history . Better safe than sorry .

Verdad Gallardo Ahh, you need a different puller. I dont think a 3 jaw will work there. You need the kind that screws in and pulls out using those bolt holes. Similar to this

ouch, did you get it backed out? easy outs work very well, did you sink the bolts all the way before you started trying to take the pulley off? How did you break a bolt in the hole? also use a socket in the center hole of the crank to push against.
Socket is for the center screw of the puller so you dont mung up the threads in the crank. An easy out is a bolt extractor. You drill small hole in the center of the broken bolt and as you thread the easy out in the bolt screws out.

"Munging implies destruction -- to make large-scale and irrevocable changes to a file and to destroy it. Hence, in the early text-adventure game Zork, also known as Dungeon, the user could mung an object and thereby destroy it."
Mung may have been created from the Lowland Scots word 'munge', meaning to imperfectly transform or, later, to munch up into a mess.
