About what i do. If my stihl flywheeel puller doesn't fit i thread the nut back on, dangle the saw by the hoop handle and give it a whack with a brass hammer.

Ever heard of flywheel knockers? I had several made for my two cycle work as I run into different threads. I just screw them on until they bottom out and back off one turn. Then a good smack of my two pound brass hammer they usuallly jar of the taper shaft. For most the walk behind and larger mower engines I use a harmonic balancer puller.. Tighten up the forcing screw and smack the forcing screw with the brass hammer.

I don't even have a cell phone anymore as the service here is so crappy that take one step and you lose the service.

Yeah i have a bunch of the briggs knockers and smaller chainsaw knockers but usually just a rap with my small brass hammer and that works. On most bigger engines if i can get just a couple thousandths play i can pop it with a brass hammer. If no play i use a flywheel puller.
 
Understand just rapping with the brass hammer but you can still mushroom the crankshaft end sometimes which is why I use those knocker or puller here; which ever is appropriate.
