I haven't pulled my rear hubs, but have had plenty of guys tell me that they rarely come off easy. Need a good puller, the kind that you can hammer to tighten. Also leave the axle nut on, but loose, because when the hub does let loose it can go flying.

That’s a good point as sometimes the drum hangs down to just the right spot where it prevents removal so sometimes lifting it helps. I had forgotten about that possibility!

Here's an idea. When the car is supported on the chassis and the axle hanging, the Panhard rod will pull the rear axle to one side. This is a design fault, the stud on the chassis end of the Panhard rod is too short. Mine was broken off when I got the car, I replaced it with a 4 inch set screw, with an extra nut, washer and rubber inboard of the chassis mount. This means when the car is lifted the Panhard rod isn't under tension, and it still has play when on the ground.
