Larry,
What are you doing with that slide hammer?
I am not quite clear how far you have gotten in the disassembly. I assume
you have the drums off. Next, remove thet one little phillips screw that
holds the axle to the hub. Pull out the axle. You may need a hammer and
a punch, but it should't be hard, it's just sticking to the seal.
Bend back the lock tab, undo the 1 5/16" nut (careful, driver side is
reverse thread). I then use a regular 3 arm puller (everyone should have
one :-) with a big washer in the middle to pit over the axle tube.
I haven't used a slide hammer, but it would probably work too.
