Try chucking a bronze rifle cleaning brush of about .45 or .50 caliber into a variable-speed cordless drill motor and run it at slow to medium speed with plenty of penetrating oil like PB Blaster or Kroil to clean up the threads. You might need to run a tap or a thread chaser into the holes to get bolts to engage properly.
Once the puller is attached, be sure you're pushing against the end of the crankshaft. I like to use a deep socket that will slip into the front of the balancer for the puller jackscrew to push against. Jerry
