Need advice, how to remove crank pulleys on 1955 324 & 1962 394

Hi All
I've got a couple core engines I'm wanting to break down and have checked. But I don't have a Chassis Service Manual for these vintages. I know the late 1960's I remove the pulleys then use a puller on the balancer. But I don't see any way to put a puller on these except on the outside of the pulleys. Don't want to screw things up so I'm needing some directions from you guys familiar with these engines.

John:

The most difficult part is breaking the bolt loose that holds the balancer on. One you have that out the balancer comes off pretty easy. It is not pressed on. I am sure these have been on there for years so you may have to tap on them a little but they should come off pretty easy. Good luck.

Thank you for the instructions, I've been soaking the 324 with Kroil but its still on there pretty tight. I'll keep working on it!
