Hi There, Her's my two cents worth.
I'm not sure what you mean by "loosening the nut is out of the question." If you are talking about the large nut on the end of the Axel with the cotter pin thru it you must pull the cotter pin and back off the nut. Otherwise no amount of banging will help. I always back the nut out so it's outside surface is flush with the end of the Axel. Then everyone is right. Keep banging on the puller with the hammer until the drum pops loose.
