F that! There are three bolts on the back of the wheel that, when disconnected, allows the inner/outer axle to simply slide out together. Before you do this, you must remove the caliper and rotor. This is so much easier than tryin to remove that damned hub. Then, you can use a grinder w/ a cutting wheel to get the u-joint out. Those three bolts are a 12 point but I don't remember what size. Hope this helps.

All ya need is a steady hand
I also don't have a press... or the patients. Plus, I was afraid of hammering because I didn't want to bend the yolk ears.
