For all you guys who did the install yourself, please help.

I am in the middle of this install. crank pulley bolt came out, water pump pulley off, belt off. Now I am trying to pull the pulley and I am having a heck of a time. The pulley puller I originally bought is just too big and wont fit inside the crank pulley. the second puller I bought does fit, but the damn pulley wont come off. ive got a ratchet turning the screw and I get to a point where it just wont advance/pull the pulley out.

now what? (f'in thing)

If it fits, just keep going...I myself was stuck at this step for quite some time...just keep going...the pulley takes a while to come off

go to autozone and rent the correct puller.....

Yea, if its the right puller..should just come off...so just keep going...

If its the wrong puller, you could screw up your block...so make sure your using the right puller...
I was using the wrong one...but I was in the middle of the job at about 11 at night...so I had to make due...but if your having trouble at this point...i'd suggest checking the puller...

If everything lines up right, and your not going to screw right into teh crank...just keep going, it'll pop off...its a slow process...

i ogt the harmonic puller set from Advance. Use the Chrysler style puller that uses the claws to grip the blancer.

howarmat was right.
I finally got the right puller.Even so, the crankpulley wasnot coming off. I ran out of time soit will have to wait for another day. At this point I am glad that I didn't strip or ruin the crank threads. That would have been a mess.
