"Little Giant" makes split dies with a special handle, fairly easy to find and not too terribly expensive. The die stock allows the two parts to start loose and then be slowly cranked in, with a clear mark to indicate normal setting. Goal is to try to do minimal cutting and try to sort of roll the dislocated metal back home. The big multi-thread tool is fairly common, too...probably there is someone on this board near you with one of those.
When using any puller you should have a cap over the end of the threads...an easy way to make one is to buy a knocker type puller, only about $5 from Model A places, and cut away the excess length. Also ding the center to locate the point on puller.
Three legged pullers are also dangerous to hub and drum because of the big Ford bolt pattern...if the hub was properly tightened the pull needed can easily be enough to warp the hub, and I once saw a very stuck Model A assembly SPLIT the drum before the hub popped loose!
