I've done hubs on my K1500 chevy before and all I ever needed to get the axle shaft out of the hubs was a quick smack with a hammer. I thought this would be easy but so far I've wasted an entire afternoon and a $50 puller on the project.

Also, hubs were roughly $130 from 0'reileys for the better ones with a 1 year warranty.

To make it even more complicated I need to leave for a trip by sunday at the latest.
Mine was the original factory hub when i changed it a couple weeks ago..it was seized on there so tight...if you can use like an air chisel on it, do that...otherwise smash the hell out of the back of the hub to get it to seperate
