This post started out as a "how to get the pulley off". The original poster had used the "bump the starter trick" and it appeared that the 24mm bolt was out.

Then somehow we got into the various strategies one could use to break the 24mm crank pulley bolt loose.

So my question now is are you still having trouble removing the pulley AFTER removing the 24mm bolt or what?

I said it earlier; I'll say it again, the pulley will pop off with some good ole-fashion tugging. Been there, done that. Never had to use any kind of harmonic puller.
