[MV] '43 GPW Brake problem

I have a problem with a front brake on a '43 GPW. When the brakes are
applied the jeep pulls to the left making me think that the right brake is
not engeging as well as the left. I tried to adjust the right shoes with
the brake eccentric as outlined in the manul, but this did nothing at all.
This suggests to me that the pads are really warn down.....so I anticipate
needing to pull off the hub. THe manual indicates that I'll need a need to
remove the driving flange with a puller...which I do not have.

SO:
1) Any suggestions on other ways to try to adjust the brake short of
pulling the hub?

2) If I have to pull the hub.....any suggestions or warnings about the process?

Thanks.
