Advice?
Try to heat just the taper lock hub with a torch to expand it and break the rust lock.

Are any of those holes threaded? If so, insert a bolt or bolts, and use them to push it off.
Lubrication is always better than dry. Automatic trans fluid works good in that situation.

I'd let it soak for a while. TF or penetrating oil....
Then a hard rap on the puller shaft after it's tightened up.
Then some heat as suggested above if that fails.

Cut a block of scrap wood that will slide under the hub and support it. With the block in place, tap a small cold chisel into the slot in the hub, rotate the hub and repeat in the other slot. Might have to do this a couple times on each side. Penetrating oil into the slots.

Soak it with "Kroil" or as one of my maintenance men called it 'Panther pee" Best I have ever used.
