Trying to remove the rear hub. The CV/Axle is already removed. That was cake in comparison.
Have some pipe that is roughly the same OD and hammering the hell out of it got the hub to push out a couple of mm but now it won't budge. Hate the idea of spending $80 on a slide hammer. Any other tricks to get this bugger out? This is the driver's side. SO not looking forward to going through this process again on the other side of the car. |

It's not obvious to me. |

It's not obvious to me. I also used a puller. But it was a stock 3-prong cheap one, I don't know why you would need to make your own. It works only if the axle is still attached. Try to have the axle level when doing the pulling. |
