- unbolt the rear shock from the housing.
- lean the housing forward and remove the axle spindle from the hub.
- at this point you should have the hub still pressed into the housing and the housing still bolted to the lower control arm.
- lean the housing forward towards you, careful not to put too much stress on the ball joint.
- get a large hammer (BFH) and distribute several well placed blows on the back of the hub while holding the housing with your other hand.
- the hub should simply pop out.
