ok si i was trying to get my hb off today, and i thought it was going well except for the fact i needed a 3' pry bar. so it suddenly loosens up so i thought i had it off, when i see the the HB puller backing out! so i stripped the long bolt that pushes against the crankshaft, so it is stuck on the 4 prong puller. on top of that, the two bolts that screw into the hb that actually pull it out, the threads are stretched out on the screws! i dont think i moved the HB at all now. So what the hell do i do now? should i go and buy another puller?

You did take out the large bolt in the center of the hb ... Correct?

Don't be offended if you did cause I've seen where some did not know to do that.

Borrow one from Oreilly's or Autozone. You don't have to buy another one.

My first guess was going to be the washer still in there. Make sure about that.

Good luck.
