I made my own puller. Bought a steel metal 1/8"plate at Lowes. Drilled 4 holes matching the hubs just large enough so the hub screws would slide thru and screw into the hub. Do not tighten. Slide a wrench socket between the center of the steel plate and the shaft center. Finger tighten the screws. Then gradually tighten each hub screw a quarter turn ea until the hub pulls loose. Works great. Used it lots of times. Never broke anything.
Yeah, that I can do. I appreciate the suggestion. It beats paying $30+ for a pre-made puller.

This the puller I made. A 4" steel plate 1/4" thick. The holes match the screw holes on the hub so that the screws can be inserted thru and into the hub. The socket is just sitting there but hold in place against the shaft and finger tighten the screws. That will hold the socket in place. Then gradually turn each screw 1/4 turn (diagonally) until the pressure against the shaft pulls it loose. You can buy the plate at lowes or Home Depot. I just happen to have a piece laying around. I made one for my 2009 same way.
