Here's a link showing the tool:

This one actually shows it in use!

This tool uses the lug nuts to anchor it onto the studs.
Forget trying a different kind of puller, like a 3 jaw that grabs the edges.
You will break it --- or it will break you!
Beating the center of the axle will get you nowhere and maybe mess up your differential.
It's called a hub puller!
Some auto stores rent them, call and explain what you need (it kind of looks like a doughnut holding the arms and a hammerhead shark where you hammer the spindle around)
I have seen them from $50.00 on up online.
No, Harbor Freight does not show one.
It seems funny that, that axle nut tightening down and squeezing the hub down, cutting it's own new splines into the hub could seem almost impossible to separate both pieces.
It is a pain!
Stay out from in front of the hub, stay to the side!
When that puppy turns loose, most likely you will need to change your britches!
Not preferred at all, I have attacked one with a big side grinder.
Keep us posted on progress.
