Over the years I have ruined several an Alternator pulleys because I refused to spend the money to buy an Alternator Pulley Removal Tool.
I finally learned the hard way, and for a long time have used the proper removal tool; no more ruined pulleys!!!!
Due to the design of Alternator Pulleys, an ordinary "Gear Puller" cannot get a "proper grip" on the pulley flange, and the force necessary to overcome the friction of the force-fit of the pulley to the shaft results in damage to the pulley.
Go to any auto parts supply store and buy an Alternator Pulley Removal Tool. They don't cost much, and are well worth it in time saved, and the cost of replacement pulleys. Then just follow the instructins that come with the tool and you should have not trouble. Good luck!
