Hi Phil
I am about to send off my crankcase to Ruairidh Dunford for him to install a new bearing lip for me. Not a lot of money and a well proven method of rectifying things. The pic is one he sent me to show me what the thing looks like. He drills through front to back and sandwiches the original bearing housing using four through bolts.
When I stripped my camshaft last year I supported the timing gear on blocks, left the nut on to protect the thread and tapped it with a heavy wooden hammer. I assume you've tried giving the end of the puller a thump whilst it's nipped up? It's the short sharp shock that breaks the taper.
