A three bolt puller like the one you use on a steering wheel. That is how it comes off.

Harmonic balancer puller. You'll need 3 M6X80.00MM bolts with a 1.0mm thread pitch.

Yes that's it exactly. You use those screw holes for the 3 bolts Dino speakes of and the harmonic balencer puller to do the pulling. You can rent the tool at autozone for about $15....
I edited to the wiki!

If this is the lower timing belt gear that is on the crank itself, then it can be a bitch. Mine wouldn't come off no matter what we tried. We ended up heating it with a torch and then using pry bars to get it moving. It ended up tearing it up pretty good and melted the inner timing belt cover quite a bit.
BTW: we tried every pully puller we could get our hands on to get it loose and nothing worked. This was on my original 1997 motor with only 75K miles.
I bought a new/used cover and gear from a buddy at a mitsu salvage yard.

My harmonic balancer puller was fat and needed m6 x 1.0 x 120mm bolts. Its FAR easier to find a smaller puller than it is to find those 120mm bolts
Also- make SURE they're grade 9.5 or 10! I created quite a few projectile holes in the wall and shredded bolts trying to use lower grades and simple threaded rod.

I just went through the same thing. I used a steering wheel puller and a torch to heat it up.(not to mention turbo8u's advise/ thanks again) That bitch won't budge with out heating it, don't waste your time. It popped right off after a little heat though.
Oh, you don't like altezza's? Too bad, cause your gonna get a good look at mine.

Mine always comes off with the application of an impact wrench.
