Can anyone post a link of a puller that will do the job please? I've tried yanking at it but it's on there very tight.
Thanks.

I never found one and used a rubber mallet!

I just used the cheep one that I have had for years.
It is a kit one with a two and three legged main screwy bit and then legs that you can change with bolts.
All that I did was clean it and put loads of insulation tape around the arms to stop anything getting scratched.
It took a bit of power on the central bolt thing and a few taps with a rubber hammer but came off reasonably easily in the end.

A word of warning. I used a 3 legged puller on mine and put a neat little bend in the top edge of the centre 'triangle' of steel but still failed to get the wheel off.

Undo the centre nut but DON'T TAKE IT OFF
Sit in the drivers seat and yank/wiggle/push/pull and eventually it will come loose.
Then, and only then, take off the centre nut and pull the wheel off.

Helped a mate take his wheel off earlier this week we removed the steering wheel and used the puller on the boss to avoid damage.

Finally got it off, a bought a puller that I thought would be ok but it wasn't, but a bit of help from a grinder and then it fitted fine!
There was rust on the splines, it's been on there a good few years i'd say.
