I know the last time I worked on a bike with the crank on the OP's bike I used the early Stronglight puller. That doesn't mean it was the right puller. But I thought it was,
Using a 23mm on a 23.35mm crank will usually only pull the threads off.
But it's a good thing you made me check the version of that crank that's on a bike in the shed; it takes a 22mm. If you got a 23.35 in there then either they made both sizes, or you has *big* arms.
