if u have threaded holes in the front of the pulley- i think u need a different style puller, think of threading into the center, then thread in jacking bolts in front of pulley to pull pulley out

There is a special puller for those that hooks into three slots on the face of the pulley, not on the outside like a typical three jaw puller. I would think a typical three jawed puller might damage the pulley......make sure you have the dedicated puller. HTH dg
