I assume you have the shop manuals. One mistake frequently made is to take the flywheel off first. The screw holding the pulley on the front of the engine should be removed first. The flywheel must be immobilized to get the screw off the front of the e-shaft.
I at first tried an angle iron and bent it. I then got a 3 inch channel six foot long.

The right tools are important. You will need a  2-1/8" 54 mm socket and you will need a 3/4 inch breaker bar with a 6 foot extension or a good 3/4 drive impact wrench. Harbor freight is a good source as you won't be using these things that often. You will also need a 5 pound sledge hammer minimum. Assuming of course you have a manual transmission engine.

If not a manual you will need a special gear puller than can be made or bought from Mears Motors. Once you get the screw off the front and the flywheel or counter weight off the e-shaft the rest is trivial and can be done in less than 5 minutes.

It will take a day to clean the rotors each so I would farm them out to an automotive machine shop and get a quote ahead of time because they don't know what they are getting into :)
