I removed the 3 bolts on the lower pully this morning and I can not get the pully off. So my question is "do I remove the large bolt in the center? if yes what size is it?(None of my sockets go that big) Once it is removed then do I need the harmonic balancer puller?

VMFers with more experience than me may have seen a pulley that is integral with the damper, but I surely haven't. Try gently rapping around the edge of the pulley with a rubber or plastic mallet. IF this is a vintage damper, it may be past its prime with outer rim slippage and rubber deterioration.

Thanks for the info, The rubber is all craked on the dampner so I will need a new one. Is the bolt in the of the dampener need to be removed?

Yes remove the center bolt

You only need to remove that center bolt IF you're working on a six cylinder. A six cylinder harmonic balancer bolt head size is 13/16, I believe. I know for sure that a V-8 is 15/16.
