It is a balancer, has a rubber insulator between the hub and the outside. I think that just about any balancer puller works. (They also pull steering wheels!)
I took one off with a standard puller I have and have used for years...no sweat there...

Pro-choice, that's a LIE, babies don't choose to die!!
Also: does the oil pump have to come off to remove that cover?
Not clear to me once again, and that would be one less gasket I'd have to find.
The correct procedure is to remove the oil pump first.
It's possible that the drive gear can slide off of the crank as the cover/oil pump is being removed as an assembly.
But, you wouldn't be able to reinstall the timing cover with the oil pump attached to it, so you might as well take it off now.
Many thanks, Dan! Any information I can get about this task is much appreciated: since the truck is sitting out in the open, I'll need to get it done quick as I can.
Do you have to know of a source for individual engine gaskets?
