Hi Matty

If you can’t rent/borrow a puller, an alternative that I’ve used in the past is to use homemade materials as grips to pull it off. I used a broken carabiner and some nylon rope lying around.

When that didn’t work, I used WD-40 and a rubber mallet. Had to be gentle though.

hey matty… U need to get the two claw pulley puller from Canadian tire or princess auto. Before you do anything Put the crank pulley bolt back in so u dont strip the threads on the inside of the crankshaft. and then put the pulley puller on and start wrenching away
