I used the tool that seems to work best for me on stuff like this. It's a piece
of plastic about 2" X 3.75". Slid that sucker right off.
Seriously, I was trying to get it off to take it to my machinist buddy. I just
took the block with the shaft still in it to him after I beat, hammerred,
soaked, heated, and broke a gear puller on the thing.

Penetrating oil applied a couple of times, before trying. Next a small amount
of heat applied with a Propane torch or Oxy/Acetylene. This does not work try
smacking the bolt with a hammer, straight on towards the crank shaft, this
doesn't work? bigger hammer might, still on? then all three may be needed, Try
combinations of heat, penetrating oil, hammer, and keep pressure on harmonic
balancer with puller. Keep the faith it will come off eventually.
Mike 50 3100,
Is there a trick to pulling this thing off? I know they are pressed on faily
tight but is there a key or somthing? The shop manual simply says "attach J
tool and remove". I have a 6" gear puller that I cranked down until the veins
in my neck were visible and nothing happened.
