One other thing to check is your stance width. Too wide a stance and you will sway to the trail side in your backswing and have your weight outside your right foot. You will then tend to get stuck on your right side and swing around the right foot, instead of shifting your weight and swinging around your left
Try a few swings with your feet together and see if you still hit pulls. May be that you just need to swing within your feet. The shift of the lower body moving to the left, with the upper body and head staying behind the ball, naturally pulls the club down inside, even if the shoulders and torso are rotating back towards the target. If you try too hard to get the club to the inside without making the correct weight shift you are doomed to a long struggle, believe me! This should all happen very naturally if you make a good BS, weight on the inside of the right foot, tension up the inside of the right leg. As you turn back your lower body will then naturally spring forward off this tension. If you slide too much back you either get stuck (pulls) or slide way ahead of the ball (pushes/slices)
The feet together drill is a great way to prove this to yourself
