Many wheels and pulleys are very tight on the shaft and must be removed using a "puller". There are several types, some use jaws or clamps, others use bolts. The ones that use bolts come in different configurations with one of the configurations being "three bolt".
What that means is that the puller is attached to the pulley or wheel using three bolts, then a center bolt is used to push the puller and wheel/pulley assembly off the shaft.

How do you take the harmoic blancer off a 97 breeze?
You will need a three prong puller and a 7 or 8 inch bolt, no thicker than about 5/16. Remove the balancer bolt, insert your thinner bolt (the bolt needs to be long enough to stick out atleast an inch). Then hook your puller on to the balancer and center the puller bolt against the head of your guide bolt. Should come off pretty easily.

It doesn't have a bolt. Just put the puller's collar around the pulley hub, and with a bit of effort, the pulley comes off. A lot of mechanics use an air impact to drive bolt for the puller.

I have not taken one off a 74 specifically but every one I have done required a Gear Puller. The puller will bolt to the Harmonic Balancer and the center bolt sets on the head of the Crank Shaft bolt. As you turn the center bolt in it will pull the balancer off.

How do you remove the harmonic balancer from a 1998 Dodge Grand Caravan?
Harmonic balancer serviceThis requires a gear puller. Always note: A harmonic balancer is made of two parts. The two parts are metal and they are made to nest one inside the other. If you look at the balancer you will notice a ring somewhere in the device. This ring is made of isolation material. Never pull the balancer from any point outside the ring. It will likely separate the balancer at this intersection. On my 1996 van I used a two arm puller because the gaps in the "spokes" of the inner part allowed a two arm puller to be centere over the mounting bolt (center of pully). If two arm type does not work then a three arm puller will likely be the one you need. If the blancer does not have spokes then you will need a steering wheel type puller or a puller made specifically for you balancer. I have had to make pullers for older 1990 and earlier engines. Once you have the correct puller you will need to remove the center mount bolt on the balancer. Usually you can then remove the washer that is used on this bolt and then re-install the bolt but do not thread it all the way in. You can now use the head of the bolt as the push point for the center bolt of the puller. install the puller of your choice and slowly and carefully tighten the pully . The balancer should slide slowly off the shaft.To reinstall the balancer. align it with any keyways or other markers on the shaft. Push the balancer on far enough for the installation bolt to be used with the washer. Then use the installation bolt to pull the balancer into position.Good luck.You should be done at this point.
