WTF!?!?!?!?!? I would not go back to that bike shop. I can not believe they could not pull the crank with a standard puller unless the threads were stripped. Can't tell from the picture, but it looks like they had covers.
The second option was to use a steering wheel puller. That is all that really was needed.
