Hmm - from the varied advice that I've had, I'll give two primaries on 
one core a go first, then back-to-back if this proves too problematic. 
Which ever way, the shunts are history ;-)

I think I'll knock together a little two-jawed puller for removing the 
windings; something from school about screws and mechanical advantage 
gave me that idea...

Cheers & thanks to all for the advice
