I used my old short rear housing and made the puller. Cut a tube off just before it "necks up" to the diff, and weld a plate around it to put on the press. The other end bolts onto the backing plate and the axle sticks out enought to press on.Since nobody usually wants these old housings, it seemed like a good use. Ryan

all i can say is time is money.
Leave everything except the brake drum on the backing plate. Even the brake shoes. You'll need all the weight you can get.DO NOT forget to remove the snap ring on the axle shaft first. Do it now.Wear thick gloves, earplugs (ears'll be RINGING ALL TO HELL by the end otherwise), and wrap a rag around you hands.Stand the axle up on the end, so the splines face down and you're holding opposite sides of the backing plate.Find a THICK, expendable piece of concrete, raise it as high as you can, and slam it. No, not hit it, not bump it, not tap it. Do your damndest to drive that shaft down THROUGH the concrete. You're trying to slam it hard enough to bend the axleshaft. Think of it that way. You need to hate the concrete.If you're using a sidewalk (only 2" thick in most places), and you haven't cracked it clear across from side to side... or the heels of you palms don't hurt for two days afterwards... or the concrete isn't chipped up, you WILL NOT get it off. Hate the concrete.You also won't hurt the splines. I've never managed to. If you put ANYHTING down to keep from chipping the concrete or hurting splines, THIS WILL NOT WORK. Hate the concrete.However, it's faster than using a press, and after stalling a press twice and then using this method, I now walk right past the press and do this straight away. It's much faster.Remember, hate the concrete. That's the only way it'll work. Say it in your head. SLAM! "Hate the concrete"... SLAM! "Hate the concrete"... SLAM! "Hate the concrete"... SLAM! "Hate the concrete"...

The other side was used in conjunction with the axle to make a ghetto tire changing station. A few prybars, some soapy water, and you're in business!Ryan
remove the c clip from the axlestand the axle drum down on the floor slip your housing over it and put the nuts on to hold the backing plate on the housingthen i usually lean the entire unit against something so it dont wack me in the head when im not looking,install the bottle jack, and start jacking till it pops off, remove jackremove nuts install new bearings
toys dont have a c- clip.
