I'd think that maybe the correct gear puller might do better than a 3-finger device. Do you have a relationship with a local dealer? J-5825-A is the correct device. Is the excess of the flange hub going to allow it to work? Maybe
If you had a quality cut-off wheel it would be "done". Maybe rent/borrow, air/electric and be done.
An LT5 puller would be ideal but that's not likely. Here's an eBay offering for a correct remover (I'm not suggesting you buy) but the opportunity to see what I mean might help. The J-5825-A might be a little taller than this J-5825 but you can see what I mean regarding a more even pull.

Heat and chisels NO but cut-off wheel and chisel maybe or a very large "nut buster". I've a friend with a large enough "nut buster" that after a couple nice cuts with a cut-off tool I think would accomplish it easily. nut-splitter might get better GOOGLE responses.
I doubt the "yahoo and the Loctite"
With the longer pull you've got maybe both of the keys complicating the removal. It damn sure is a predicament - it ain't been a very pleasant experience for you yet. It will/should get better!!!

I'm going to see if I can find one at a rental place.
I have a air cutter but the compressor seems to go down very quick
(PSI)
The Dremmel seems to cut better but takes lots of blades.
That hub is THICK!
I took a break but I'll get back to it soon.
Thanks every one for there input!

Your right! That puller looks much more stable!

Get a cut-off wheel and an electric cutter at the rental place. They should have likely a smaller and a larger cutter to rent.

That puller should work, but take a couple of long screw type hose clamps and cinch them down over the jaws of that puller to help prevent the jaws from sliding off of the sprocket.

Borrow or rent this style puller: goggle Summit racing, summit part number OTC-4518; this style of puller , where the jaws look like half moons and clamp together behind the bearing / gear/ or sprocket definitely will not fly off and will definitely move that hub.
