Leave the hub puller screwed tight on the outer hub, unscrew the inner part of the puller fully to release pressure and hammer on the end of the puller with a copper mallet to get the outer hub back into position. Then remove the grub screw.
Henry, whilst what you say is true, if the grub screw will not come out, the only way of getting the hub off to sort it out is as I have suggested in my previous post.
Taking the whole hub off, having removed the stub axle nut and split pin, ensures that the inner bearing is held in the hub and pushes on the spacer, which, in turn will bear up against the inner track of the outer bearing, thus ensuring it comes away from the stub axle and not try to slide back in the hub against the grub screw.
AS i have said, I have had to do this a couple of times.
