I need to pull the handles on a pair of built-in sink faucets.

I already have a garden-variety handle puller- but there is not enough room above the faucet to hook up the puller.

Is there an "offset" puller available? The puller version of an offset screwdriver?

I know not any

As it turns out, I guess the whole hot valve/cold valve/spout assembly can be removed by removing two nuts on the hot and cold water supply lines. Absent a specialized tool, I guess I'm just going to have to pull the whole assembly.

'Seems like a lot of work to fix a leaking faucet. Are there any gotchas for an ignorant do-it-yourselfer when I go to reinstall the assembly? What, if anything, should I use under the nuts? Teflon tape? Some kind of pipe dope?

Some kind of pipe dope on the bevel of the ground joint.
