Packards right up to 55 used tapered axles that required a puller, in 56 they used a flanged axle.

to Joe, please explain what you mean by "it pulls back the rim??" When using a puller the rim ( road wheel) must be removed. The correct type puller pulls on 3 of the 5 wheel mounting studs.

I have had axles so stubborn that I have stripped a medium duty puller. In most cases I have had to strike the end of the puller on the axle axis to break it free. And I had to use a large sledge hammer. Never encountered any wheel brg damage.
