How can I remove the gear on the crankshaft timing belt pulley with the woodruff key that stops me from removing my oil pump housing? Is there a puller made for this, if so where would I be able to locate one? Or is there a different way of having it release itself from that woodruff key that the harmonic balancer goes over?

If the gear has two tapped holes in it you will be able to use a puller that attaches to these holes, most parts stores have these pullers in various sizes.

It's called the balancer driven gear which has no threaded holes on the side of it to thread any bolts for a puller to use. l also noticed it has one little area for a claw arm to slide behind the gear but no other area for a second claw arm to slide behind the gear which baffles me on how to remove it?
