Rotor stuck. Is there a trick?

Hey all

Alright, so using a rotor puller to try and get the rotor off the crank of my cb550. The thing won’t budge. Applied force, and even bent the rotor puller handle a little. It’s not coming off. Is there a trick I’m missing here? Or is it good old heat again?

Almost couldn’t get the rotor puller out again though, because of the amount of force I had pulled it in with.

McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
I assume you have given it a tap with a lump hammer whilst the puller was under tension.

K2-K6:
Also grease/copperslip the puller threads as it will promote more leverage for the same torque.

Johnny4428:
Also grease/lube on the contact point of puller.😉

Bryanj:
Are you using the proper puller or a generic 3 leged job,which never work
