I well remember ruining a hub using a three jaw puller on my Spitsix in 1981. Those stinkin' tapers never want to surrender! That's when I turned a substantial puller that has ben bulletproof ever since.
I'll loan it to anyone but I've become more cautious in my older days and would ask a substantial deposit. If that works for you let me know cuz it's the ONLY way to do the job.
