Tapers in place can sometimes be persuaded with a robust g clamp or small vice and a spacer tube. Never throw out pipe and tube oddments.
Before everyone owned pullers a common technique was to support the eye transversely with a sledge hammer head, large axe head etc and deliver a sharp hammer blow opposite. The well coordinated may be able to deliver simultaneous opposing blows using two hammers. More than one or two whacks not recommended.
As Sevens do not have hydraulic brakes can get by without a wife. But useful for compressing the tube for assembly. Some use a carpenters cramp; I have a gadget made from two lengths of threaded rod.
