Use at least 1/2 inch flat stock to make the puller. Prefer 5/8 to 3/4. I think mine is 5/8. Use 2wo bolts and heavy washers on the bolts that go behind the pulley.

HERE"S THE TRIKY PART:
The bolts or legs mite try to spread as pressure is put on the puller. Use a large C-clamp to keep them tite against the side of the pulley. C-clamp will need grooves in the anvil and swivel. In lue of a C-clamp try a large hose clamp or several hose claps connected together.

I used a large C-clamp but it seems to me one time i used the hose clamps too or maybe that was on another application.

Hopefuly yours is not real tite. Every once in while i run into REAL TITE pulleys. Especialy big block Chev. If real tite fit u will need to use a large hammer to strike the bolt each time the bolt is tightened a little more strike the head of it.
