Mike, find a local shop that works on trucks.  I took my axle 
assemblies to my local friendly truck shop, where they were set up to 
do work like that.  Their 100T press didn't break a sweat, but I sure 
did when the hubs popped loose.  They made one hell of a bang (ok, 2 
bangs).  There's no chance that the special Churchill tool could have 
handled it.  And it is critical to support the hub all the way 
around  else it'll bend (don't ask....)
