maybe you are using the wrong size puller. make sure the puller's hooks are grabbing the best part of the ribs to get maximum grip. also, you are pushing against a loosened bolt right? one time i took the bolt out of a car and was pushing back on the center of the balancer and then couldn't figure out why i kept breaking my tools. dumbass me then.

no what i meant was the center crank bolt. it should be loose but still in the crank. that way the center of the puller has something to push against.

I Had to get a puller for the LS-1 but the big pain in the *** was getting it back on.They do sell one that takes it off and put it back on. A guy on the Florida forum is selling one.
