Answer
Hi marshall.
what car and engine is this? if it's a 3800 engine there is a special puller you need for it the 3 jaw version will not work. some of the big box auto parts stores have tool rentals You need one that looks like a steering wheel puller with long boths that go through the pulley and grab obn to the hub part of the balancer behind the pulley. that is if it's a 3800 V6
Good luck ;-)
