Why would starter pawls matter? I have never used them with bolt method to remove, is this what you do?
Loosen flywheel nut and put a punch in center of crank and give a whack. Most come off.
Also leave nut on covering the threads with nut half off and whack the nut. (WARNING I fubared the ends of threads ONCE like this still was usable though)
I have a 3 jaw mini puller that fits under flywheel even though they are super tight on back side.
Super stubborn ones I have learned to spray PB Blaster and let soak in around flywheel.
All I can think of for now.
