I wouldn't try to turn the crank with the mains loosened. It would just move from side to side with nothing to hold it in the center. I have used the Chinese puller before with the white Fel-Pro seal, but not with the graphite seal. They are very soft, but it might work. The upper seal is a real problem to trim with the crankshaft in. I have had a bit of luck just replacing the lower seal and leaving it a little long, but it sounds like you have already removed the upper one.
