Inliners International Forums General Discussion Engines basic engine teardown questions

I'm tearing down a 250 for rebuild. I'm pretty much a novice at this stuff so I have some basic questions.

1. I bought a gear puller kit to get the balancer off. But either I don't know how to use it, or I bought the wrong thing. The main "H" shaped bar doesn't seem to be long enough for the grabber arms to grab the edges of the balancer (the bar is about the same diameter of the balancer which is too short.) There are threaded holes in the balancer, but the kit doesn't seem to work with those either. Did I get the wrong thing?
