The first time I pulled off one of my hubs, I fabricated a puller to bolt onto the wheel lugs, and push against the axle. I ended up pulling the hub apart from the bearings. Wasn't sure about pressing back together with correct preload, so I bought a new hub/ bearing assembly. ( costly mistake). When I did the other side, I left the 12 point socket on and beat it with a hammer. ( not fun) I anti siezed everything. Had to pull apart again to replace u joints. I bolted a slide puller to the lugs, left the axle nut on, and with a few slides of the puller, they came right off. Not sure if this method would damage the bearings if the hub was siezed to the axle as mine was the first time around. I like the idea of using the power steering to push the hub off. I'll have to try that sometime.
