if your talking about removing the drive flange from the hub you could use a hydralic press if you have access to one...

I have a homemade slide puller for this-
A long bit of bar with a plate welded on one end and a wheelnut on the other, the sliding weight is an old M1100 balancer.
Works for me... :wink:

I think it was an Ausmini'er who got a stuck hub (drive flange) off with a length of chain and a sledgehammer.. each end of the chain bolted to a wheel stud, then a couple of good belts on the chain with the sledgehammer.

That was me

Worked great considering the inner race of the outer wheel bearing was rusted onto the flange. It saved me from undoing brake hoses and having to re-bleed the brakes etc
