A hydraulic press will definitely be necessary. But be forewarned, the fit
is sometimes so tight that the flange bends and the assembly is ruined.
Take it to someone reputable.

Subject: Inner Axle Shaft Removal
Hi folks,
I am trying to replace the oil seals on the inner axle shafts as well as the
pinion oil seal. I have the entire differential off the car and the shafts
with the housing assemblies are off the differential. Are there any tricks
to
removing the housing and getting to the oil seals? I have removed the large
nylock nut on the end of the shaft and have tried everything from gear
pullers
to really big hammers. So far no luck. Am I missing something or is there so
much pressure on these things that I need to take it to someone with a
hydraulic press? Thanks in advance for any help.
