The times in my life where I was having to put way too much pressure on stuff to get it apart.... I had missed something simple... a hidden bolt....
OR once I had moved up the scale on Pullers... and was using a cheater bar to put pressure on that bigger hub puller... this was the back hub on a Volkswagen Beetle ... when I figured out that the parking brake was still engaged... and it does not take much of a ridge on the inside of the brake hub to make that an impossible job... So just make sure you have found all the bolts which might be holding it on before you apply ' Hulk ' level forces... broken bolts or framing.. all way more labor to replace...

Funny about the Volkswagen. I cut my teeth on my Squareback. This Mercedes though has only a few applicable lessons/techniques though.  B.T.W., grew up with my Dad's '64. I remember watching and then helping a little on valve adjustments and other tasks. Still can remember the thrill of getting to get to sit in the driver's seat to apply the brakes so he could check the lights. He was SUPER protective and ONLY he sat in the driver's seat. Sure wish Oma sell the Impala so could get him to get back in love and back on the road. I am not saying I don't have a log in my eye. That's why decided to get back to both and get this Mercedes a little closer to repaired (long list...).
