Crank hub removal? I'm swapping cams, and I need to get the hub off, I can't remember how wedid it last time. I have the balancer off, but not having any luck with the hub. Any tips/suggestions?

Yep...steering wheel puller is what we used with three bolts that actually threaded through the hub. We put nuts on the backsides of the bolts to make sure they didn't pull through. Also...we used an allen-headed bolt that went into the crank, but didn't thread in (smaller diameter) for the pullers long bolt to push against....worked like a charm.
I used the same 3 jaw puller that I used for the pulley, but I put a 6" 1/4" socket extension in the hole for the center point of the puller to push against. Take your time and keep on it, it will look like it's not coming at all, but it will.

Thanks fellas, I got it off with the help of a friend. I had to small of a puller, he had it off in a few minutes, I just had to keep the motor from turning over.
