I had to pull the wheel off my '90 YJ to replace the ignition lock the other day and not being able to get to the store for the bolts I needed to use the puller, I ended up using a ratchet strap wrapped around the spokes and around the roll bar. Left the nut on the shaft and when I felt there was enough tension on the wheel I started tapping the nut. Sure enough after a couple more clicks on the ratchet and a couple of more taps on the nut, it popped right off.
