How in the heck did you get the main crank pulley off? It doesn't have threaded holes like every other main pulley I have ever dealt with and I am having difficulty getting the claw type puller inside the pulley.

Here's a write-up. If you ever want how-to information, check "The Ultimate Sticky" at the top of the tech section. It's a post loaded with all kinds of how-to's.

The how-to wasn't the issue. The pullers that I had were too big, and I haven't ever seen one like in the write up. Alas, a trip to sears to buy the smallest three jaw puller they had and some "mechanical persuasion" seemed to do the trick.

I guess it is too late, but I was able to rent a puller at Autozone that worked perfectly. Advance auto also has one.

FYI
For anyone who would rather not grind or cut off the end of the factory alternator bolt/stud, here's a suggestion:
I have an 07, which has the stud. I took the nut off of the right side of the alternator and screwed it onto the left one (the one which needs to be trimmed). I tightened the two nuts against each other - created a jamb-nut setup. Then I simply unscrewed the inner nut, which unscrewed the stud from the block. Then I was able to use the new bolt which Steeda sent with the kit.
It worked flawlessly and avoided having to clean up metal shavings from the engine compartment.
I hope that helps someone!

The Steeda pullies come with with a different bolt for the alternator, btw. Something to think about when purchasing a set.
I borrowed a Chrysler pulley puller from AutoZone and it fit perfect. I used TacoBill's write-up, actually, since his was for Steeda pullies.

Rent the tool from Autozone. It's a Chrysler Harmonic Balancer Puller. I actually had to use some mechanical persuasion to get it to come off even with the tool. The bolt of the tool wasn't long enough so I had to fit a socket on the end of the bolt to get it to work.
The one I rented came with 2 different pins. I first tried the short one, but ran out of bolt. Use the longer pin.
