ok, so tried the grease method - didn't work. Tried the puller - broke it. Ended up drilling it out and then taking a hammer and chisel. Surprisingly, had I tried this way first, it would have taken much much less time. I tried the grease method for an over and hour, and used everything from a 8 lb sledge to an impact hammer to try and get it out. The pullers broke after a dozen attempts. The drill/chisel method took maybe 15 mins.
