Spray it with penatrating oil. Put the puller back on it, and while it is under a good load, leave the nut on the shaft, just enough to cover the end of the shaft, then while it is under a load with the puller, get a big hammer, and hit right on the nut. It should move. Once you get it off, before you put it back on, use some antisiese on the shaft, so next time it will come on off.

Strongest puller: Use grade 8 bolts, tighten up, hit center of puller.
