Last week I had to remove the half shafts from a spare JH axle I had bought for my GT. I managed to get one of them out using the "brake drum method" i.e. a brake drum reversed and fastened to the hub with all 4 wheel nuts tightened by a couple of turns. This then turns the brake drum into a slide hammer, although you need to be careful not to damage the threads on the hub bolts when pulling on the drum, and the sliding distance of the drum is pretty limited. The other half shaft resolutely refused to shift using this method. After various other attempts, it finally popped out by hammering on a punch threaded through the holes in the backing plate and onto the backs of the hub bolts. I'm hoping it will be easier to get the half shafts back in!
