420A Crankshaft Pulley stuck

Just to confirm. You aren't pushing against the face of the pulley are you? You have to thread the crank bolt back in and push on that. I normally put something like a small rod on the bolt holes first so I'm not pushing to hard on the crank threads
 
I am using the black 3 hook feet puller and this happened its still stuck any help appreciated

My original post was regarding a 4G64 engine and Harmonic Damper. The 420a crank pulley and the 4G64 pulleys are very different. I would suggest creating a fresh thread so you can get proper assistance with your particular application.
 
I was pushing against the crank bolt with a washer as to not thread the bolt all the way back in

There has to be a gap between the the flange on the crank bolt and the pulley. If you put a washer between the bolt and pulley and tightened it down the pulley can no longer come off. I leave about 1/4in gap between the bolt and face of the pulley and when that gap closes up I back the bolt out some more. But like I said, you will be pushing on the threads in the crank, so I use a small piece of rod I put in the crank hole before the bolt and bottom the bolt out on that to keep from messing up the threads
