How hard is the crank hub supposed to be on there???

I am using a hub puller to get it off and it's getting hard to turn the bolt with a BREAKER BAR. I've never had that happen before. I have the puller connected to the three bolts and I put nuts on the other side of the hub bolts so it's not pulling on the crank pulley threads... I don't know if I want to further because **** can start breaking. Somebody give me some guidance

Never mind it's coming now... just a tip to anybody trying to get it off. If you work out at the gym, save the benchpress for a breaker bar and the hub.

I ruined my puller on the last one I took off.

LOL I should post a picture of the Grade 8 bolt that the puller was pushing against... it's literally deformed like it was a little piece of play doh and the threads now look like an accordion. Haha.
