I was trying to figure out a way to do this from the outside. Think of a couple rods attached to the lug holes, maybe 2' long with a bar between them.
Attach to the lug holes and swing a BFH away from the hub and hit the cross bar.
I think with the wheel turned and maybe 40-60# of tungsten hanging on the carrier to absorb shock I would have enough room to swing a BFH inside and knock that hub right out.
I had considered making a jig that mounts to the brake caliper mounts but it just seems too risky. Maybe if I source a replacement just in case knukle.
