Use the universal extractor and two of the vibration damper bolts.

Insert the two bolts in the pulley by hand as far as they will go.

Install the extractor so that the claws grip the bolts (not the wheel in front of the toothed belt).

NOTE: Check that the claws of the extractor do not damage the teeth of the wheel.
