[Mgs] 1971 MGB front pulley split, any advice on replacement?

[Max Heim]

With a harmonic balancer puller. You can probably rent/borrow one at
O'Reilly's or Autozone.

Hmm, you're in the bay area, aren't you? You could borrow mine, though to be
honest I don't think I've tested it on the MG. I got it for my Plymouth.

it's the primer red one with chrome wires
