Sometimes just jacking up that wheel with the nut backed off the 1/2 turn and driving the car on the jack while really slamming the brake will work.

I'm not sure I could make myself whack the end with a hammer. What does this do to the pinion gear at the other end in the differential? You are not the only one who gave this advice, but it doesn't sound good to me.
I may have to bite the bullet and get a first-class puller - The K R Wilson. From what I read it will get the toughest ones off without risking damage. Have any of you guys used it? Do you still have to whack it? I would like to avoid the whacking if possible.
