It's complicated by the presence of the magnets and 30+ year old epoxy (neither of which like heat), but a belt of heat judiciously applied, and a shock blow will usually do the trick. If you can get a puller around the head of it and couple that to a slide hammer...

Only a dog knows why a motorcyclist sticks his head out of a car window -
Finally got it off in one piece. What is the best and safest way to torque it with the engine in the bike.Comment

I put it in 5th gear and lock up the rear wheel by putting a crow bar between the mag wheel spokes and the swing arm. You can also have someone stand on the rear brake while you torque it down.

Darn, with so many daily riders it's hard to decide which one to jump on next.;)
