You definitely need a puller. Search for a topic rea brake drums in this forum. You will find ethe puller.
Look technical discussion, 21.Feb. topic 51 rear brake drums too!
Greetings ! Go
Go to the home page of the POC website you should find a link to Dave Pollack's article about pulling the rear drums.
I followed his advice last Spring with the rear hubs on my '40 P-10 Business coupe, his advice worked fine for me.
Hope this helps,
Bob

The other option is to back off the castle nuts a couple turns, put the cotter key back in and drive till you hear them pop loose.
Here is a home made on. A welding shop could make it up from scrap for cheap.
