Hub removal

Can't seem to break the hub loose from the drive axle. Using a hub puller, impact wrench, hammer, and heating the hub. This sucker is stuck. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Did you unhook the brake cable at the backing plate? It could be the brakes holding it on. Try putting some pressure on it with the puller and smack the drum with a big hammer.

Got the drum off. I had to use a cutting blade to cut away the drum from the hub portion, then cut the hub itself on opposite sides and I was able to split it. That sucker was rusted on. Shaft is in good condition. I will have to buy a new brake drum.
