I successfully removed that stubborn pulley/balancer. I cranked my puller until it was just...almost....ready to break, then with a moderate amount of propane torch heat (not enough to smoke/burn the rubber) and 3 licks with a small hammer it came off. All of this after soaking it good with Liquid Wrench and I put the 9/16 socket in the hole to make my puller have more threads availabe for the pull. Thanks for all of your advice. I hope I can return the favors. CASE CLOSED!!!


Whether you think you can or can't, you're right.

Also--in 2004, I invented the spotting alert network in stovebolt after seeing so many trucks when driving around. So that means I am cool.
