Hi everyone, I am in the middle of trying to remove the hub support assembly from the car. I need to take it to a machine shop so they can press out the old bearing, and press a new one in. The problem is that I am stuck at the axle shaft. I can't get it to slide out. Manual says to tap it with a soft-faced hammer but is not coming off. I've tried a puller in the past but didn't work either. Any ideas? Thank you for your help.

Pete
