Default UDP help again!

Alrighty! So I have the chrysler puller. What I think you do just seems like it doesn't make sense. So I want to check again. Ok, took the wheel off. Then took the belts off. The next step is...with the bolt still on the puller I put the puller on and tighten until the pulley is off? That just seems like it would bend everything. I just want to make sure.

Thanks.

First remove any retaining bolts on the pulley, then position the tool so that the 3 ( typical ) arms are hooked behind the pulley and screw the center down to the bolt until snug. Then using a wrench turn the bolt in the center of the puller, as you do the pulley will slide out with it. It might help to spray the shaft with penetrating fluid before attaching the puller. Go slowly, too much pressure may break or bend the pulley and the puller may pop off several times before you get it right. It is important that the arms of the puller be equally spaced and centered on the pulley for correct removal. You may need to change the positioning of the arms in order to reach behind the pulley, most pullers have two sides each with near and far holes for the bolts. Pick the adjustment that best fits and leaves enough room to tighten the center bolt for removal. The center bolt must be centered on the shaft, if there is no taper or bolt hole in it use a center punch to make one so the puller stays centered, without a guide the puller will try to walk off the shaft as you turn it.

alright,nvm. I got the bolt off and found it in the haynes manual. Now I'm stuck again...I put the insert in the hole, tightened the puller to it and now its spinning the crankshaft again...Now it is kinda frustrating. To be honest people just aren't telling me what I need to do. If someone could just take a minute to tell me what to do that would be great. I've got the bolt off and I really need to know how to get the pulley off.

alright. got it off. The chrysler puller pulley wasn't long enough. So I went back to my insert from miller and the "cheap" 3jaw puller and that worked. Got the new pulley on. Sadly, modern sent me the wrong size accessory belt. The smaller one fits fine.The big one is exactly the same size as the other one and I didn't even have to use a wrench and pull the thing to put it on. It just slid on and was very loose. Does anyone know what size belt I need?
