Bruce,

Iv'e had luck with stuck hubs putting the puller on, pulling it good and tight, then licking around the axle/hub tapered tapered portion with a torch. Put some heat around it, let it cool, repeat a few times and between heatings, pull that puller up tight. During one of these cycles, it will come loose. On one Lincoln, I had the puller on for two days, tight. I used heat carefully off and on one day, and did nothing but leave the puller tight on it overnight and through the second day. Didn't touch it the second day, and lunch time I was in another room, heard a BANG, and the stuck hub gave up and had released its grip on the axle.

Good luck,

Steve
