Believe it or not the Best puller is actually another hub. 

 

Do NOT use a 3 jaw. 

 

@953 nut has shared a pic or two of hub puller that's done with threaded rod and a jack.

Scroll down a bit in this thread and there's a few great puller ideas. 

 

I've put a few "search words" in it so I can find it when I need to.

ebin , agree with you on the use of another hub , the most important thing of a long stuck part removal , is OVERWHEMING SOLID STRENGTH , when its hooked up correctly , its just a solid steady pull off , steering wheel removal  is a good example of that . when that steering shaft is bouncing , you are going nowhere . when you brace it up to a wall or post , the mechanical pull is solid and smooth .  learned from failure , pete

Homemade. 3/4" plate.  7/8"fine thread HD all thread and 3 HD 7/8" fine nuts.  5  7/16" fine bolts threaded into the hub with washers and nuts backing them up. (backing nuts not pictured)

This has never failed me...

While you have it off, check the seal...good time to replace it too.

EXCELLENT set of instructions Dave. 

 

How big of a dead blow do you have?

I've had a 1# until recently then added a 3# to the arsenal.

I've always used the hub as a 'slide hammer' to seat the seal straight and true.  Works good for me!
