    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.<br>
    Good luck,<br>
