Jeff, et al.
The one thing I haven't seen mentioned in this discussion, while obvious
many people don't think of it until someone tells them - is that when you
use any puller, put the nut back on the shaft and screw it down at least
1/2 the thickness of the nut if not so the top of the nut is flush with the
end of the shaft. This keeps the shaft from splitting!
I've seen axles split, and various other shafts split when someone tried to
remove something from them without the nut being on the shaft.
