If I remember right I took a small screwdriver and tapped that key keeper loose and mine came off fairly easy. Don't hit the pulley with a steel hammer from behind. You could use rubber but be gentle. Those things break on the thinner sides where the belt rides. Good luck.

Or maybe I pried it off with piece off wood between the front cover and the pulley. I can't remember but that sounds more doable now that I think about it.

Do the remaining pulley come off with the timing cover? or are they just compressed on and will come off now with some elbow grease. thanks guys

I think that the "remaining pulleys" are actually the damper itself.  It's a slight interference fit on the crankshaft, with a key.  You might need a damper puller to remove it.  Don't pull on the outer metal pulleys, they're attached to the hub via rubber.  The damping material.  A damper puller threads in to the hub and pulls from there.

got it. after research looks like it does need a damper pulley, not a big deal. however, even with that what i read it its likely to break. If anyone has a 70-72 harmonic balancer to sell or knows a place thats sells them reasonable please message me. thanks

There are a number of options. There is a guy in Oregon who rebuilds damper pulleys, send it to him, he rebuilds it and sends it back. 

Ollie Naugle in Snohomish, Washington had a ton of S30 parts and sells dampers.

Rebello in California has a line of aftermarket pulleys, all new with no core required,

 

 

Check Ebay. I acquired one a month ago.

I should have something kicking around. 2 or 3 belt?
