David Cochrane lists a die for the hub thread here http://www.a7c.co.uk/spares.php#nogo
Failing that there is also one on ebay right now. If your puller has damaged threads you can get away with cutting off the last half inch for a fresh start.
With the hub now off you can replace the key which is likely sheared and IF the hub and taper are any good, reassemble.
From your description the axle nut was so far up the thread that the split pin was past the castellations. In this situation the nut can bottom on the step at the axle taper, and not apply any pressure. You have correctly placed a washer to fix this, but this too can drop into the rebate at the end of the axle thread, or a too small ID to go over the taper, with the same result.
If all the foregoing is sorted and you are using the same axle/hub combination, be aware that because the hub is so far up the taper you may experience binding between the axle cog and crownwheel carrier, to the point of lockup.
If this is the case you will need a new hub, at least.
Hope there's some help there, good luck. Russell
