With regard to the hammer, I did say tap it once, lightly. Briggs I/C engines generally have ball main bearings, and hammer blows on those are particularly undesirable. I normally find the flywheel pops off with a bang while I'm still applying initial tension to the puller - no light tap necessary. Flat plate pullers tend to be considerably more rigid, and therefore effective, than gear pullers.
