Re: 32 rear brake drum removal

Illustrations from drum removal on my '34 Eight. Very typical of the construction used by Packard tru 1955, also used by Chrysler and many others. Any well-made puller of the types shown should do the job. Note that the axle nut is left on the shaft, loosely threaded, to safely retain the drum in place when it breaks free of the taper.

I suggest that your chances of removing it with the gear puller as you've illustrated are slim to none.
