If you cannot get a large enough puller from any source maybe rent or borrow one, try using 2 fairly heavy brass hammers and using 2 people try to hit the yoke from both sides at the same time, doing this you may damage the rear pinion bearing though.

Did you try penetrating oil on it, put some good tension on it. Walk off and leave it for about 30 minutes or an hour. Come back and try some more tension on it.

If your going to replace everything anyway, use a little heat on the yoke. Be aware, if any hot oil or grease blows out on you, it's going to leave a mark. Use safety glasses. If your not comfortable using heat, then don't. Safety is your responsibility. I wouldn't want pressure to build in the diff.

I got i off with a bearing puller I noticed an xtra seal on the yolk itself that doesn't have to be replaced does it I'm only replacing the seal that punches into the diff housing

They usuall do not leak out the yoke splines but.
A little silcone sealer on inside of yoke splines beforem installing it will seal the splines.

Ya had a heck of a time getting it off so might as well replace other seal while its off.

I use a ball joint puller The big 1 They had two claws on it it worked well the other seal you speak of is on the yolk and I believe it's a dust seal I got it together no leak but I do have a small vibration not sure if it's bearings
in the rear housing

Did you match mark the yoke to the housing and u-joint before you took them off so they could be put back in the same position? Very important. This is my guess what small vibration is from.
