Harmonic Balncer removal on a 304

[grunt]

Trying to remove remove the damper in a AMC 304 . Those cheap pullers you get at the local parts store won't cut it. Also I don't want to use the bolt holes because I don't want to tear it apart. Where do I get the correct puller. Anybody fab one up?? A regular 3 jar puller wont work . Thanks....

?? using the bolt holes with a proper puller (NOT a 3 arm puller) is the proper way to pull a harmonic balancer. If you already tried to pull it with a 2 or 3 arm puller, its probably toast. That tears the rubber ring apart, leaving the metal center intact.
Try renting the puller at a local auto parts house, sometimes they have a free tool loaner program.
