Lots of good advice here especially cleaning out the crank after the water trick. I only use the water trick no puller. Had a hell of a time the other night though, kept pushing water through the teflon tape it took me 6 tries. I almost had to go for a thicker liquid like oil but I hate the cleanup after that. I don't like to smack the bolt on concrete directly I put a boot mat down before smacking it to separate the sheaves.
try different tape. i must have tried the princess auto stuff 100x one night to no avail. thought i was going crazy. friend brought over some better stuff from work and boom first try.
oh and for the guys that are using the puller bolt.........only supposed to take as much torque as the clutch bolt! no more! if it doesnt come off try some light taps with the hammer on the end of the bolt or let it sit for a bit.
Heat gun on the center of the clutch and it pops off easy. It don’t take much heat.
