NOT the

The
big nut in the center!
Pull the cotter pin, loosen the center nut about 1 turn, put the cotter pin back-in and spread, then drive vehicle around in tight circle, first one direction, then the other.
If still stubborn, try alternately loading the vehicle by pulling forward, then backward, repeating ( like trying to ease car stuck in snow).
The go back to circles.
The hub-mounted pullers are probably best for not damaging the hub / drum.
I have seen a few instances where people have actually "dished" the drum using a three-leg lug-stud puller... so proceed carefully if using one of those.
