How the fook do you get the output shafts out of the hub!

[schoonerm3]

Will be replacing the rear wheel bearing in my e46.

But can't get the output shaft to budge

Anyone any tips

Soak it all in loads of wd40, then use the biggest hammer you have with a big round headed punch and knock it out. Make sure you only hit the centre of the shaft!

Thanks a million I will go at it again tomorrow after soaking it

What about pulling out the hub? Do I need a special tool?
