What works for me is: Leave the wheel ON, it must stay on and have the weight of the vehicle on it, remove the nut and put it back on upside down or use a non castelated nut just proud of the axle end and do NOT jack it up. Jack up the OPPOSITE side rear just off the ground, no need to remove this wheel. With a 4lb hammer strike the loosened nut 2-3 times square on the end. The hub will be loose. I have never owned a hub puller because I have never needed one. Try it and see.
