Dan,
If you don't have a 3 legged puller or a slide hammer, you can use a 
trick I learned from Andy Pole on this List. Get the half shaft and turn 
it backwards so that the domed end is against the axle/hub and the studs 
going through the half shaft holes. Use the nuts to tighten the half 
shaft against the hub. The hub will then be pulled off the axle as you 
tighten.
Good luck,
Elton
