Done more then a few, none on this engine (or any M engine) and unless the motor is very new i have to use a puller. most take almost nothing one they get going.. its just that first few ticks.. Some a tap or 2 with a hammer, some a HAMMER or two with a Hammer. And yesa couple took just some good jerks.
I say plan on puller and be surprised if it doesn't need it. Again i have never looked at this one, but if takes a puller there will be threads in the front to use one.
Yep, not much help, but thought I would chime in since nobody else is.
