Well I used a 3 armed tool to pull it out, but it is nearly to the frame, and already at the bolts maximum length, and still stuck. Is there something I'm missing, or is something wrong? It won't budge off any further. I hate my car.

I rented it but it did not come with a bolt. I guess I am missing a piece? They didn't say anything about one. Would I be able to just get a longer bolt then the one on the crankshaft and use that?

On my puller, there a bolt that goes through the center of the spider part of it, and the bolt has a small hole in it where an about 8" (i would have to measure to be exact) rod goes. Then the rod will go in the inside of the crank to push up against the inside. Tighten up the puller and pull it off. Without the rod mine would come justa bout off but not completely. I've heard of people using a 1/4" LONG extension in place of the rod but thats just wht i've heard, seems like it would work if it were long enuff.
Also i couldn't pull it off without the 1 bolt and 2 nuts on top of the engine mount being off. Drops the engine just enuff on that side to squeeze it outta there.

Is the damper hitting the frame? You have to lower the engine down out of the chassis about 4" to remove the stock pulley.
If you're using an autozone 3-jaw puller and not a mopar puller, you'll need a longer bolt. Try using the one from the passenger side motor mount. DONT use a socket extension or anything that doesn't thread at least 5 threads into the hole. Trust me, it's worth taking 2 weeks to find a bolt that fits... saves you the trouble of a destroyed crank.

Ok, I got past this but now I am stuck on the cam sprocket. Will that little bolt behind it hold the force if i put a socket on it to stop the cam from spinning?
