Here is a almost step by step pictorial of the removal of a rear drum on a Packard. Your car will be exactly the same.https://packardinfo.com/xoops/html/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?post_id=19369#forumpost19369
Loosen the axel nut, but DO not remove it. When the drum "pops" it sounds like a shotgun going off. You don't want it flying across the room with the puller on it. So keep the nut on, but loosen it until it's flush with the end of the axle. This will give the puller center screw more area to rest on. Once it pops, then you can remove the nut, and the drum.
Also here is picture of the old-school Blue-Point puller that I used (on the right), and a more modern one on the right. The old one is much heavier.
