Tore apart the ole 8N to replace rear axle oil seal.Put a 3 arm puller on it and no luck.I took some advice from from guys from the board and put the rear tire back on and kept the big nut about a 1/8" loose on the axle and took her out and did figure 8"s in the road(country)Ha trying to pop the hub loose from the axle with little luck(at least i thought.)Took her back in the shop and put the puller back on the hub and tightened it as tight as i could get it,still no movement.I tapped the hub with a BFH a couple of times and the hub shot off like a rocket.Just alittle info you guys might find useful or funny.Thanks for the help.
 
Had a similar experience with my IH340 steering wheel. Put the puller on and tightened as much as I could, then banged away on the hub. After 20 minutes of that, I got the torch out and started heating it. When it let go, it sounded like a shotgun blast. Scared the crap outta me.
