When I dropped my BA cradle the other week, the rears were the same. I think what you are experiencing is pretty normal!

If you just use the puller you WILL break something.

If the rotor is lose on the hub I WOULDN'T use a puller as you are forcing the' over adjusted" brake shoe over a lip that has worn inside the disc (similar to the lip on the outer edge of the rotor in your picture)
