I got a brake drum puller which works great on tapered axles
thru someone on ForwardLook. It's basically a metal plate about 1/2" thick
with five holes drilled in it and comes with a set of nuts and bolts. You
gradually tighten the nuts against the plate and the drum will pop off the
axle.
If no one else knows who makes and sells this, I'll see if I
can find the info.

Subject: [FWDLK] Brakedrum hub
puller
I have been looking high and low
on the internet and local tool rental stores and shops to see if I could get
my hands on the puller that is used specifically to remove the rear brake
drums on my 1955 Dodge. This is the kind that has the “fingers” that
slide around the unit and are fastened to the drum with the lugs and lug
nuts. I found one on Ebay but the middle screw part that has the handle
you tap on is missing. Autozone has a tool rental program but they do
not have anything that works. Of course a tool that works with such and
old car and not a common tool in its day, I understand why they are not
readily available.
Does any one know where I can buy
or rent one? I have pulled the fronts, and everything looks fine.
I have backed off the back brakes. What happens is that the brake fluid
get very hot after I drive the car for 10 miles to the point that the brake
light comes on from the pressure. Strange. I hear no noise and
when it does it and I get down and put my hands on everything including the
axle hub, it is not hot.
