I used a harmonic balancer puller with grade 8 bolts to hold it to the yoke nice and tight. Then I heat it up with my torch and get it red hot. Its the only way I have been able to ge the yoke off the axle on my Tempest with the least amount of resistance. Hopefully those tools from Clarks will help you if you dont have a torch. When I heat up my yoke, I have a friend keep turning it as I apply the heat. A breaker bar on your half inch drive rachet wrench helps too when you are using the puller!

I've got an air compressor with a 1/2" impact I can use on the puller. And if that doesn't work, I've got a 3/4" drive ratchet set that I can use. I'll get it off one way or another. I'll spray the flanges down good with PB blaster and let them sit for a few minutes before I start.
