I'm not sure if these need a puller or not. I would definitely NOT use a
torch to heat the hub. If you want to apply any heat, use a heat gun or even a
hair dryer on high . Then try to remove.

Subject: IML: Job number "next" -
hub
Hi! I learned something new today and
thought I'd let you know that that hub cap IS threaded on the '48 Crown Imperial
hub. It came off fairly easily once I could see what it was trying to
get me to do! I removed the cotter key, nut, washers and bearings but
can't get the hub off. I've tapped gently all around the hub from the
back with a hammer and it isn't loosening one little bit. Some
grey/black powder has come out, obviously residue from the brake
pads.
Are there any tricks I should know about? I didn't think it
required a puller but it's acting like it does. I certainly don't want
to crack the hub by hitting too hard. I'm not very excited about using a
torch on it either.
I'll pack the bearings as long as they are out,
when I put it back together but first I need to get that hub off so I can see
what else has to be done. That manual I'm going to order once I get to
AZ would have come in handy now. I'm sorry I waited but I wasn't
expecting this problem.
