After destroying one with a puller, torch and foul temper. I used a press
In the end I pulled the drums then the backing plate, the castle nut,
etc.. then pulled the whole half shaft from the differential and used
a press to drive the shaft from the hub.. and it took alot of
force...try hard not to mushroom the shaft ends.. I am sure others
have opinions, and many will find reasons not to do it this way- or
those who actually could use a hub puller with out snapping studs will
share their good fortune. ...But, this process worked for me. Do be
ready if the ram launches the half-shaft like a scud or more
accurately a frog missile in your shop!
There are many technigues listed on the club sites- do check the
run-out when you reassemble, ... lots of luck
