Hi Sandy,
You can use a large socket on the axle housing with one of those thick
manifold washers on the end with your bearing puller. The hubs are
typically not on very tight for very far. Using all those pieces, you might
wish you were born with an extra set of hands getting it all in position! A
small chain on the studs with a bottle jack has also been known to do the
trick!
