I wish I had been that smart when I pulled the crank pulley/damper on my Plymouth 2.4L engine years ago. I used a 3-jaw generic puller, w/ jaws on the "spoke" puller pads. My mistake was to rest the cone seat on the crank hole. Apparently, it swaged the crank out so it became permanently married to the crank pulley. I gave up and got the special (engine-specific) Autozone free rental that better fit the pulley pull pads, but that was too late. That puller broke off a pulling pad. I left the pulley on and added a dab of epoxy to make up for the missing pad. Have managed to squeeze a timing belt off and on past the stuck pulley. The other big mistake people make is to pull on the outer ring, which just shears the damper rubber, then they ask here, "any way to put the ring back?". Take your time and think it thru or you can get bigger problems.
