Default Harmonic balancer puller/installation tool ?

Hey Guys, can anyone recommend which one and where to buy that doesn't cost big $$$. I need to pull mine off the 99 FRC for cam install. Hopefully only need for this one time. Thanks

If you can't beg borrow, steal or rent one, I wouldn't go too cheap as this is something that can ruin your day if it breaks or breaks your pulley. A friend actually bent a hardened piece of stainless threaded rod putting his pulley back on. I use a $50 puller from Pep Boys to pull mine and a long piece of threaded rod with washers and a nut to press the new one back on.

Thanks I've used the treaded rod before with luck, so I'll probably just stick with it, I thought someone might have found a different way.
