Default Puller Recommendations for Crank Pulley

I need a puller to get the crank pulley off of my 01 Ram with the 360. What do you all recommend? I'm seeing lots of reports of some not working, so I want to make sure that I don't order one that doesn't work. This is the style with the one bolt in the center that holds it to the crank. So I need a jaw type puller.

When I swapped my engine I used a a 6” gear puller it worked for me.
Although I don’t know if that was the “proper” way but used what I had.

I've changed both pulleys on 318 and 360 and the larger jaw puller from Autozone fit for the 360 but I had to fit it just right. It's got wide jaws and they latch in the teeny notches on the pulley. If you're patient and get it set just right in the arms of the pulley, it will work great.

i used one from AutoZone, i remember i had to go to 2 different stores before i got the "Chrysler" one, it looked like it would not work but it was the right tool/puller, initially they game me a popular one that did not fit/work

Thanks guys. I was able to borrow one from a buddy that worked. How are you all putting these pulleys back on? Are you buying one of the installers, or are you just hammering it back on?

Crank Pulley? No hammer please.

I stick it on the crank snout, make sure it is lined up with the key properly, shove it on as far as I can by hand, and then use the bolt to draw it in the rest of the way. Make sure the bolt has a good start into the crank snout, don't wanna rip the threads out.
