what kind of puller are you using?
crows foot or a 3 pronged hub puller?
i could not budge mine with a crows foot and had to borrow the hub puller from a friend

Are you trying to remove the crank damper/pulley from the hub, or are you trying to remove the entire assembly from the crankshaft?

The pulley was designed to literally fall off the hub when the three bolts are removed. Unfotunately, rust buildup over the years makes it hard to remove. Some people are able to use a good shot of rust penetrant, followed by a few taps of a hammer. Others need to resort to a puller.

Shoebox has a good photo of how to do it on his Tech Pages:

Do not hit or pull on the outer edge of the pulley, you can damage the rubber "damper" ring.

When you reinstall it, put some anti-sieze on the ID of the damper. Will come off a lot easier if it has to be removed again.

You never answered the question.... are you trying to remove the pulley from the hub, or the hub from the crank? If you are only trying to remove the pulley, sounds like you may have threaded the 3 puller bults thru into the hub.
