it is a after market pully he is using the rite puller. just keep turning it it will come. Are you using the bolt to push from with the puller. make sure the bolt is not tight so the pully will come off. good lick.

That's a total recipe for disaster, he has a Powerbond and a longer bolt will screw up the crank threads.
