Use a torque wrench not an impact, and if more than 50 lbs and it won't budge, smack the puller with a BFH. That puller you got was junk, so maybe it would have let go at step 1. But for others struggling with this... next step, if the BFH doesn't work, I'd heat it with a torch. The flywheel will expand more than the larger mass of the crankshaft. For stuck stuff, I always use heat and a mix of ATF and acetone or aerosol if there is access to shoot it in (bearing races, etc). I had to do this way on my old Norton for many things, thankfully I could put engine cases in the BBQ to about 300F. Sometimes they just dropped out.

Ahhh well about that.....I’ve spent two days destroying tools and the center of flywheel . Tool? What tool my engine eats em alive !! So I snuck up from behind and slapped a tow chain around the atv with stuck flywheel and a big tree and secured it to the tree then I got a smaller chain and bolted it around backside of flywheel ...... then hooked the other end to my suv tow hitch and getting ready to take off so chain takes up slack and creates a nice little jerk !! I be back to let you know how this goes ok.

I ended up ordering one from a different place on eBay you can probably get one through cycle gear as well. Let me know what you ended up with good luck these things can be a real pain in the butt
