Also the cost of the odd 1 1/2" -16 pipe die was too much to make since especially with these ones ebay. I purchased the one like in the link but with the jacking bolt and spacer so I could lift or remove the fly wheel with the same piece. It was only a little more for the extra parts to adapt it into a puller also. Same seller has them both ways. You can always make one that fits the wheels three bolt holes on a spreader bar easily but the ring works much better and for the cost its a no brainer in my opinion...
