Any puller should work, long as it can stay centered. Leave a nut on the
end of the shaft so you don't bugger up the threads..let the nut stickup a
bit past the threads on the shaft, tighten the larger puller nut...put
maybe 30-40 f/lb on it, then take a hammer and rap the top of the big bolt
you just tightened...it should give a "pop" and come off.
