Default 98 xjr camshaft pulley has broken bolt... any ideas?

I am redoing my HG's on my xjr and up to now have had no real issues. The crank bolt came out fine but the pulley when i went to put a puller on it I found the last person to work on it has broken a bolt off in it. Is there another way to remove the pulley? Or am I stuck drilling and tapping it?

Unfortunately your going to need to attach a puller some how.
And remember your also going to have to give it a rap with a hammer to get the tapped collar to release.

Thanks. I ended up drilling it and tapping it. Came right off after that. The drilling and tapping was way more effort than removing the pulley.
