You need a different puller and install tool rather than your standard puller to remove andreinstall the pulley.
You can rent the puller from AutoZone I believe (for Free ).

This is the removal tool;it clamps over the nose piece of the pulley.
This is the install tool you'll need.

You're clamping the clam shell piece around the nose pieceof the pulley, and then threading it into the center part ?
