I just swapped mine out last night but I think I got lucky.  I didn't have a puller handy so I used a couple of long bolt secured in a slide hammer fixture.  I only had to give it a couple of (delicate) raps with the slide hammer and she popped right off.

They tend to seize a little over time.  I usually put tension on it with the puller, then gently tap both sides of the back of the wheel to get it to "pop" off.
