I bought my puller as a teenager in the '60s and not quite as heavy duty as the one that ScottG posted but it's lasted all these years. I just used it last week to remove the 1951 Henney-Packard's huge 14" rear drum but in this case it came off easily as it was not on tightly while waiting for the brake work (there was nothing attached to the backing plate). As loosely as it was on, I was surprised to need the puller at all but those tapers really tighten up with only little force so 200 ft-pounds really cinch it on!
