Default 91 regal 3800 Damper removal

Trying to replace the crank sensor on this '91 Regal 3800. Got the bolt out
but can't budge the damper. Other Buicks I've worked on the damper just
pulled off. I tried a 3 bolt puller and it looked like it just stressed the
damper so I stopped. Is there a special tool or technique?

I've done this on a '90 LeSabre with no problems other than loosening the
bolt.

TIA.

There is a puller made specially for this type of damper, buy it or rent it
from a parts house, not generic but for the 3800.
