I popped the cap off, removed the nut and both washers. I put the puller on it and applied pressure, but no movement, can I just keep adding pressure, I tend to break things like this so figured I should make sure I didn't miss anything before ratcheting up the pressure. I put some penetrating oil on it overnight to see if it will help. Any advice?

Use a BIG puller, be ready to apply "lots" it torque to it before it pops. really surprised me what it took.

Once you have a good pressure on the puller pull up under the wheel with one hand and give the end of the pressure screw a quick sharp tap with a copper hammer..keep your head out of the way cos it can jump up a ways if it comes off.If it does not come off,give it more pressure an tap it again.

Just keep working it slowly, it will come off. I think Kytim had the most recent experience in a thread.

Thanks guys, I just like to confirm before I take the Bull in a China Shop approach. As soon as I get home it will come off. :)
