Sounds as if you are using the wrong puller. The puller should be the type
that has three arms that attach to the drum's lugs and not to the edge of
the drum. The kind that attaches to the edge to the drum is more for
pulleys and the like. Steering wheel pullers also attach to the steering
wheel with bolts and not the outer edge.
Also, make sure you have un-adjusted the brake shoes. Turn the cam
adjusters and anchor bolts back off as far as possible. This should help
the drums just pop off when you use the puller.
