My crank pulley grenaded. I got a new one, had no trouble getting the 22mm crank bolt out, but now i cant get the pulley off. I cant use a puller because without the outer ring, there is nothing for the puller to grip....What is the solution here? Can you screw in bolts into the 2 holes on the pulley to push it off (like a brake drum)?
Thanks Guys!

Get a harmonic balancer puller. They are cheap at most auto parts stores and come with assorted bolts.

that should be self explanatory enough . Midlo is right on the money- harmonic balancer puller

$10-15 at Autozone for the puller similar to the one in the picture. You can even use a steering wheel puller.

I think i paid close to 10 or so for mine when i picked mine up.

The Autozone stores here in Cali have a deal where you buy the puller (or any of the usually rented auto tools) and then they let you return it for a full refund (so it's technically not a rental) within 30 days or so. They used to loan them with a deposit, but they had to change to this method for some reason. Net result is that it's free though.

and heat it up with some mapp gas if it's being stubborn

i wouldn't heat it up, but some rust penetrant in the crank key hole will help with the removal process

I had to use a 3/4 impact to get mine loose and just used a puller-

an impact gun works great to get the bolt off, but guys at work use them sparingly because there is a risk that the impact gun will kick out and can potentially damage the radiator when it does kick. If you go this route, make sure you remove the radiator so it doesn't damage it.
