Tool for pulling harmonic damper?

Anyone have any recommendations on a good tool for pulling the T-Bird harmonic damper? I see that Concours Parts and Tee-Bird Products both have a tool for sale. Concours has a picture of it, but it doesn't tell me much. The puller I've used for years on GM (which also works for pulling steering wheels) won't do the job.

I ended up buying the damper removal tool from Concours and it worked great! Glad I got it. Of course then I had to buy another tool to install the new damper. Got it from NAPA. And of course I needed a new deep 33mm socket to fit the nut on the installation tool. Also needed to improvise a short piece of pipe and two 7/8" washers to bring the nut out enough that the new socket would be able to reach in and turn it. Oh well, it all worked out okay. The new damper is in place.

Puller

I usually 'borrow' one from local parts stores as part of their tool loaner program. Most major chains have them.
