No. there is no need to pull the engine for a top-end rebuild.
But a warning: label the bolts when you take them out of the head cover and head. Don't ask why, just believe that I know.
As for the piston pin puller, I don't know for sure as I didn't remover mine.
But, I've never used one on any other engine I've worked on.
I'm sure someone here will know, if there is something different about this one.
