There is no puller because there is nothing to grab on to. Spray some penetrating oil around the hub area and then use the heaviest hammer that you can find and hit it at the edge of the hub while rotating it. It should pop free.

A rubber mallet? The only thing you will get doing that is a sore arm .Nothing personal but you obviously have never done this particular job . A 5 lb ballpeen is just about right .

If you hit it where I said to hit it, then you won't do any damage anyway. Nobody said to hit the brake surface.
