I tried many times to remove the hub by this tool but I couldn't. could you describe step by step how did you use it? I used it the same way as the instructions in the case but the tool turns firmly but doesn't move the hub outward at all.

He is referring to a common 1/4" socket extension you find in your toolbox. Since you have the proper tool, it should have come with a rod that slips into the vacant hole where the crank hub bolt goes. That is what the puller pushes against to remove the hub. The extension mentioned is sometimes used in place of the rod when people don't have the OEM tool.

the KM tool parts are numbered. The instructions on the box are pretty clear....but you do need to read between the lines some as the diagram is not 100%
assuming you unbolted the damper from the hub and removed the center bolt from crank holding on the hub you insert the non threaded rod with the flange on one end into the crank the flange end goes into the big threaded nut that threads onto the puller flange. You only need the 1 1/2" bolts that come with the tool to secure the big flange to the hub. Once the puller is assembled you just use a wrench on the big threaded nut and tighten it. The hub will start to pull off immediately once you have everything lined up & tight.
if your hub has a bunch or rust or crud on it, spray with some kind of cleaner/penetrating oil where crank and hub are
