The nut is done up to 100nm so it's very tight.

Consequently the backpalte is 'usually' very tight on the taper.

Be very careful that you don't damage the thread on the end of the crankshaft.

If you do, it will be very difficcult to get the clutch cover nut to run on properly.

The good pullers have a small cap that goes over the threaded portion first.

Anyway, enought of that, how to release the taper.

The way 'I' do it is to do the puller up tight but not to the extent to which you are liable to damage something.

Now take up the end float on the crasnkshaft with a couple of shout screwdrivers or similar, under the backplate.

This is going to give you a bit of 'give' when you do the unthinkable and hit the end of your puller with a hammer!

It does help to warm up the backplate first to try and get some expansion going.

The blow (or two)on the puller should release the backplate off the taper as you hit the puller.

The few thou end float is just enough to give at bit of room.

Good luck.
