Default Crankshaft balancer removal tool

Which tool do you guys all use? I rented one from advanced auto and it sucks... im tired of using these shitty tools and I need to buy one. last time I rented one it was a year or so ago and I think what I received was slightly different... but honestly cant remember. I thought it had longer arms than this one.



All I know is I can't help but think there is a better way. With 2 joints this thing is a pain in the ***... Whats out there??

3 Jaw puller like pictured....I have some m16 all thread I cut to size and put a divot in so the puller stays centered, works fine...

Seems like something along the lines of this would be so much easier to use...

I know it makes no sense, but you need the Chrysler puller from Autzone!

I initially used the one you have pictured and I snapped off the bolt!

here's my way

that's what i was referring to...wont work on a stock pulley though. the Chrystler puller is the best one for a stock balancer.
