You don't need a puller. You will need the tool to compress the spring to remove the snap ring. With the snap ring out, remove the spring, pressure plate and spring compressor as a unit. Remove the steel and friction plates. Replace them with the Energy One extra plate kit. They sell a kit that comes with the spring compressor. $160

You need to invest in a shop manual. Keep doing burnouts and you will soon learn all about how to remove clutches, primary cases, mainshaft bearings, gearsets, trapdoors...
