Mount the nut in a vise and then turn the crank arm off the nut....use your fixin' pipe on the crank arm to gain more leverage.
most folks who run into problems with crankarm pullers find that they pull the threads right out of the crank arm so it should not be too much of a fuss to get the puller out if you have enough leverage.
