A puller is nothing more than a bolt and a rod--- One of my front spindles from Northern still in the package has a 3/4" x 16 thread so I didn't have to buy a bolt, then I measured into the end of the crankshaft- mine was about 4-1/2" from the back side of the big threads on the clutch. Cut a 3/8" rod/bolt slid it in the hole then threaded the 3/4" x 16 threaded bolt (in my case the threaded end of my spindle) in and turned it till it all popped loose, didn't take much force either.
