When the extractor is wound in as far as it will go, give the end of it a sharp bang with a heavy hammer.

+1

I usually grease the end of the extractor that's pressed against the crank to make sure it doesn't bind. Tighten up the extractor, whack it with a hammer and it usually pops off.

I did one once that was that bad the previous owner had stripped the extractor thread on the flywheel, i ended up using the old 3 legged puller, and a good clout with a heavy hammer works wonders.

Faced this issue on a Euro Lambretta when a pal needed to swap out a failed stator and it transpired that the workshop that fitted it had used an airgun to tighten it :evil:

Got it off but knackered the first extractor that we tried on it, and thought the second was going to go too.
