mate--a bit of heat from a blowtorch--we are talking a BIT -helps heat up the flywheel so it starts to move off the taper.
You need the flywheel puller that screws into the center of the flywheel.
As an alternative to that-- a bolt with the same thread as the internal one on the flywheel will do the job -hold the back brake on and just spin it down the thread--when it touches the end of the crank itll start to pull the flywheel off
I have a funny feeling ya might be able to use the rear axle but dont quote me
ohh and -when putting it all back together--clean up the crank end and slap tiny bit of copper kote on it to stop it happening again
