If you have some time, just leave your hub puller attached overnight. I have done this many times. Install the hub puller as tight as you can get it and just let it sit over night. Usually in the morning it will have popped loose. If need be, retighten the puller and then try the hammer again. So far, I have never failed to get one off or have I ever had to use heat of any kind to get one off. The fiber washer is stuck inside the end of the hub, around the end of the axle. You should be able to pick it out quite easely. And no, there is not any type of snap or lock ring.
