HIT IT! Go on! Provided you've backed everything off proper, that is....

Get the proper Amazon hub puller on there as tight as you can. After you've released everything off as best as you can (hand brake and shoes) and followed the advise above of whacking the circumference of the drum, whack the puller as hard as you can. If no success, hit it harder. If still no success, you know what I'm going to say!

Oddly, once I had a pig that wouldn't budge. After making arrangements for my dad - much stronger than me and better at using a hammer - to come round and whack it. I had left the puller on all night and the next morning it came undone with a relatively gentle hit.

I have the type of type of hub puller that had a big nut at the end that you can attach a gert big fixer bar instead of the type that are available now that have a handle. I'm going to Poole tomorrow morning via Dorchester so can bung it at you on the way and collect it in the afternoon on my return if that's any help to you.
