Default Reluctor wheel removal

Any tricks to removing the reluctor wheel, and reinstallation? Its a 96 z28. Im assuming the crank gear just pulls off with a 3 jaw puller. See pic.

Three jaw puller will work on the reluctor as well. Just enough to break it loose.

It should slip right off, no need to use a puller. Give it a whack with a deadblow if it's stuck.
