Mike, since your wheel is now trash, and you have air; Borrow a muffler gun from one of the guys in your local Model-A chapter. Sacrafice the wheel.

In other instances, take the hub cap off, and pull the cotter pin. An assistant puts prybars of some side from underneath (on jack stands of course), and put the axle nut back on so that it is flush. Cut a piece of steel or a drift punch on the axle. With tension on the drum (assistant) strike the axle with a good size hammer a few times. The drum/hub assembly will pop free in a few strikes. From there you can back the hub off, and pull every thing off the axle. Now you can flip everything over and work on it.

I never had pullers until I was older and could afford them. But I had a Grandfather that knew how to work on stuff, and do what ya had to do to get by. The stories that he and his brother told me about Model-As were memeorable.
