Default aaahhhhh

Can anyone help i've spent all day trying to remove my rear hubs so i can replace my brake shoes, I don't have a puller so ive tried to jimmy them off with screw drivers and even resorted to a hammer but still no joy. I have removed the hub nut and the thrust washer but it won't budge and the shoes are not binding cos the hub spins freely
