Today the 8″ puller showed. Had applied heat in the past and, had let it set in penetrating oil. Threw the puller on, applied a good crank or two, tapped it on the side, and kaboom, she came off. Cleanest part of the engine is underneath the flywheel! I’ll degrease everything before I put it all back together. Cylinders are soaking in rust remover (doing those in a heat pro0f paint), new rings on the way, spark and fuel will be final pieces. My flywheel pulling was all part of my $35 engine breakdown.
