Using a standard pulley removal tool

I found only reference to this, which stated that one could pull off the pulley with a standard pulley removal tool from any auto parts place, but that it would damage the pulley in the process.

If I do not care about damage to the stock pulley that I remove so I can install a reduction pulley, can I use a standard pulley removal tool?

Any experience with this please let me know...
Mr. Cooper

yes, just did it today. it was a little scary because i kept cranking the puller and it just kept bending the pulley. but eventually it went "POP" and started coming off. the scariest part of the whole process was actually lifting the engine that high. but it worked! i used a standard three claw puller. make sure to pop off that little plastic cover on the end of the supercharger shaft and put a small bolt into the hole so the puller will have a surface to push against. good luck! it's worth it!

Thank you Sir! Glad to know I don't need no stinkin' fancy pulley puller.
