Spray with Kano Kroil or Deep Creep and heat with heat gun. Do this and let soak for 48hrs. Set up puller, they type with three bolts and a center screw.

Put bolts well into flywheel so you don't strip threads. Tighten up center screw good an tight. With a three pound mason's hammer or something similar, give the center screw a good rap. Try taking up some more slack and rap again. Sometimes it comes off with one wack, sometimes it doesn't.

Get back to us if it doesn't.

Most common puller used is an automotive "harmonic balancer" puller. It has provisions for three bolts. I would purchase some grade 8 bolts instead of using the supplied ones with the puller. I believe they are 1/2 inch 20 bolts. You need to double check that. The pullers are available at most automotive parts stores. Some places like AutoZone will loan you the tool for a small refundable fee when you return the tool.
