If you have a VIP Auto Parts store they will loan this tool for free. Just
go in and ask for it. One other thing that worked for me was to leave the
wheel on the drum and pry the wheel up and down for more leverage against
the drum. Also, smacking the outside of the tire with a rubber hammer
worked to jar the hub with more of a leverage angle.
Good luck,

Then suggestion regarding backing off on the star gear is the first step.
However, if that does not work, rent a large brake drum puller.
The drums become attached at the hub in the center. I experienced the
problem
and tried heat, penetrating oil and numerous shots with a hammer to no
avail.
If there are no rental places nearby, Eastwood and J.C. Whitney sell them
for
about $29.00.
Attach the drum puller and crank down on the drum until it starts to distort
and then hit the center driver with a large hammer. That should do the
trick.
