Rear Wheel hub removal: Help Needed

[Paulaner]

How the heck are you supposed to get the wheel hub out? Here is where I got to in pics attached. You can't get a two or three jaw puller on the assembly. Do you just bang it out? I don't want to mess up the threads on the shaft.

I have not done it yet. The Autobook Manual addresses this on page #87, copied below.

I got my BFH at the ready, thanks @boonies

I have heard that this is a terribly difficult job...Seems they were right... @sfdon noted that he has never seen a coupe with rear wheel bearings that needed replacement...so one wonders why you would embark on this particular journey...although being able to replace the rear brake backing plates might be a sufficient motivation...

I just removed mine. You are almost there. Don't go hitting the end of the shaft, even with the nut on as you will damage the thread. I used a pin punch and then hit that. After a few hits, popped right out.
