Mine came off pretty darn easy,,and crank had no bolt or hole drilled...pretty scary .so I drilled a bolt hole and tapped it..wonder how many have come off while driving ?
Interesting. I'm using bolts that pass through the puller, then right through the damper, and are retained with a nut on the backside. I didn't have any longer bolts matching the UNF bolts used to mount the crank pulley So I used 3 crappy god knows what bolts that would pass through the 3 holes. They held, but the puller arms simply began to bend and the bolts began to slide down the puller slots.
I think I need the proper bolts, along with a better puller. But I'll try giving it the whack method. Thanks.
I need that Aussie hydraulic puller as seen at sema...

Your puller sounds a bit suspect. You should be able to pick up a decent Lisle brand one at most parts stores. It should contain the proper bolts to thread into the damper, and be strong enough not to bend.
However, I did strip one on the large center bolt once as I was using a weird method of not letting the engine turn over while trying to remove the damper.
Check out Parts Source. They may rent you a quality puller.

Whack the centre puller bolt under load...not the balancer. Can u flip the puller around to pull her straight again? And yes...would have pulled the lifters out bottom side but needed the cam to work them up....so I could tap them down to free up.
