You'll also need a long, strong bar to hold the puller from turning.  ISTR

I used a breaker bar with a 4' piece of pipe over it for more torque and a
smaller bar through the U-joint hole that I secured with my F-150 truck.  I
was able to separate both hubs.  One fairly easily, but the other one was
rather nerve-racking.
