I would get a 3 legged puller on it as it may have a keyway and key to line it up, a drop of penetrating oil wont harm either (at a pinch wd 40 or a very thin oil such as sewing machine oil will help too

there shouldnt be, but it could be a tight fit, and rust is a very persuasive glue.
I once had a brake disc that wouldnt budge, I put the puller on it and even that didnt work. I tightened it as tight as I could, sprayed penetrating oil on it, then left it overnight, when I looked in the morning it was off.
