When using the puller on the rear drums, remove the castle nut and then 
reinstall it backwards and thread it on just far enough so that it is 
flush with the end of the axle.  This will ensure that the end of the 
axle doesn't get flared out from the pressure you're going to put on it. 
 Use a fist maul or a sledge hammer to tighten the center screw on the 
puller.  When it seems like it's good and tight against the axle use the 
hammer to give it a good whack on the end of the puller's center screw.  
A lot of times you'll hear a pop and find that the hub has popped loose. 
 If it doesn't work the first time, rinse lather and repeat.
