Next time the puller is removed from the drum check to see if the key slot in thedrum is lined up with the key way in the end of the shaft. If not, then at one time the the nut was probably not tite enuf and the drum turned on the shaft shearing the key. Some big palooka then places enormous torque on the nut just to get him thru for a while.

THus there is no way of knowing what kind of metal has rolled up in there makeing it extra stubborn if the key ways prove not be lined up.
