Has anyone rebuilt their rear suspension?

[mikesz]

I have the right rear axle out. Now trying to remove the rear hub so I can get to the wheel bearing. I am trying to do this without disassembly of the e-brake assembly. I have rented a hammer gear puller. Since I don't want to remove ebrake I cannot use a bearing splitter. Is there any way to remove the hub that I am missing? Has anyone used the sliding hammer to remove the rear hub?

Yup, that would be me..

It seems like a Flinstone technique but actually works

However, after doing the rear ones I 'voluntered' my oldest son as my back was acting up, but I used a HF bearing tool kit to get the new bearings into the hub..

Hoping that I don't have to do that job anytime soon :-(
