I had a really cheap one like the one Patrick of Mtl linked to. I bought it 10 years ago off of eBay for $8 new. It did the job.
Two years ago, I upgraded to this one for $60 ($75 w/ S&H):

It's a copy of a really good puller, it's very heavy duty. I know somebody who has an original one, besides the copy being a little rougher, it's just as good. 100X better than the first one I had.
Definitely keep the castle nut on (loosen it of course) until it pops free. Loosen the brake shoes too (probably not going to interfere if you hadn't adjusted the brakes for awhile).
