RB25det Balancer pulley problem

[xnissan240sx]

So When I was going to take off my balancer pulley to change my oil pump, timing belt, and water pump I threaded in my 6mm bolts and when i started to turn the bolt in the center to pull it off one of my bolts stripped out all the threads in one hole. So now I am left with no way of getting this balancer pulley off. My question is can I use a 3 tooth gear puller to take the pulley off or do you "have" to use the balancer puller?


Thanks!

I don't see why it wouldn't work. I removed mine with 2 pry bars equally spaced with the right amount of pressure and it slipped off.

okay because what I have is a large enough gear puller to go all the way to the last pulley.

I just want to make sure that I don't wreck the balancer pulley in doing so.
