First take out the 3x 5/8ths bolts and then hook a 3 jaw puller up to it and yank it off. Some times you can get off with your hands and dont need the puller. HTH

Auto or m6? I would assume auto since if it is a 6-speed you can just put it in gear. Take off the converter dust cover and stick a screwdriver through the flexplate.

Also leave the belt on while you do it...That will hold it in place a little more.

I used a skinny craftsman prybar and slipped it through one of the pulley openings and rested it firmly against the block... I could break lose the three bolts then.
