I didn't have any problem using a wheel puller but not all wheel pullers are created equal. I will say when I reassembled the wheel I did use some anti-seize on that tapered shaft and key-way. The next time I took it off, to put the hydraulic system in I had no problem removing the wheel, pulling on the wheel at nine and three o'clock and a slight tap in the center of the tapered shaft and it popped right off.
