Engine Mechanical problem

We have used the 3 prong puller but it wasn't budging and now it seized up. Is there something that needs to be removed before or are we using the wrong kind of puller?

Did you remove the big crankshaft bolt?

Yes we did.

Make sure the screw jack is not in interference with the balancer . so get a good pull even on all three bolts then tap the top of the screw jack. Sometimes it maybe necessary to heat the center of balancer.
Good luck

When you say three prong pull does this thing have arms and hook around the outside of balancer?
If so wrong puller you need an harmonic puller it bolts to balancer in those bolt holes in the center. Auto Zone can rent , you will never get it off with a bearing puller.

Yea we are using a 3 jaw puller, the only problem is the pulley doesn't have bolt holes.

Thats exactly what we have and how we r doing it. Thanks

we may have to try heating up the balancer

are using a rod in the center check the picture I sent it has a rod in where the center bolt was removed
and it longer then the bolt that was removed
