Or: Almost identical to the jack and chains, use a nice big bolt like 1" bolt, taper to protect the threads and use some heavy metal like 2" square tubing and some nylon lifting slings instead of the chain so it won't hurt the rim. Put the bolt through the tubing, into the CV axle, sling around the spokes and large tubing. 1" bolt can push with 30T of force.
You can use an old rotor for the push just need to get creative how to attach the straps to the rotor.

I want to try the blocks of wood with tnuts and large bolts behind each of the spokes first. The tricky part is the lack of clearance to get things inside the wheel to use against the rotor. I tried getting my porta power jaw attachment in there but there isn't near enough room to allow it in.
At least with this method I can go slowly and apply even force that wont be too far from the hub itself.
