Dan Walters describes how to make a rear hub removal tool on TigersUnited.com
(IIRC). While his design requires the use of a welder to attach a nut to the
center plate, it's strictly speaking not required if all you want to do is to
pull the hubs off, and if you have a drill press you can make the required
parts. I followed the basic design and was able to get the hubs off without
smashing anything with hammers. The taper on the rear axles and hubs is so
shallow that the engaging force between the parts is very high... unless it's
worked its way loose through being driven without the end nuts torqued up, a
standard slide hammer isn't going to cut it.
