I tried as well with a puller and no luck.

Do you have access to a press? i would try a clamshell and a press to get it off.

I've not had one off, but does it have the same lip that a power steering pulley has? if so, just rent a puller for that.

used a puller today and a 2 foot breaker bar popped it off that thing was on there tight

Use some heat on it next time. Gear and bearing heat treats are safe to 4-500 degrees

Did you have to put a stud or somthing into the shaft to press against, or what was the trick? thanks.

I ended up holding the gear in a vice with aluminum jaws and put a long hardened bolt into the shaft and tapped it out with a 3lb hammer. ended up mauling up the hex a bit. but it came out.
