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.

Thank you! Yes, I've not been shy with hitting it, including with a 3 legged hydraulic puller (the type that pushes against the drive shaft) applied but STILL no joy. And it has ended up damaging the shaft itself. I spoke to the very helpful Emma at Amazon Cars this morning and she said that unless it was a five nut puller then when the drum is as stuck on as this one seems to be I don't have a chance. I have loosened off the adjuster etc and the drum turns so am I simply seeking that POP off... The offer of your puller (is it a 5 lug one?) is very much appreciated indeed - extremely kind - I am just outside Dorchester en route to Poole (between Crossways and Owermoigne) and could meet you somewhere convenient? The only problem I foresee is the afternoon - what time would you be coming back through as I have a couple of appointments... it may be easier to chat it over, my tel is 07926 305999. Thanks again, Dominic
