stock upper will not come off help

[SVT Ryan]

I tried pulling off my upper last night and holy chit this thigh will not budge. I bent the crap out of the pulley pullers middle bolt. Is there a trick? I've searched and can't come up with anything

Use the billitflow tool best one of all.

Put as much preload on it as you can without messing up your pulley and then get a torch to heat the pulley up around the shaft. Do not put the torch on the shaft itself. By doing so it should "swell" just a hair and will hopefully pop loose.

I got it off using the make your own pulled puller thread now the snout is messed up and I can't screw the bolt back into the snout to put the new pulley on

You need a tap to run back down in the threads. Or get a counter-sink and make the existing counter-sink deaper which will remove a few damaged threads. More than likely you still need a tap though.
