The way I've found which causes the least grief when removing any hubs is Sykes Pickavant's hydraulic ram coupled with the appropriate number of arms for the number of wheel studs you have. The arms attach semi floating to a ring which allows for any pitch. If anyone's interested I can take a picture of the device and post it .

The outer thread is tightened by hand until the centre rod holds on the drive shaft, then the hydraulic inner is wound up using the four inch rod supplied. Bang, off it comes. No damage, no grunting ,no bashing, no hitting of anything. Only slight problem is that Sykes have stopped making the arms so they're worth looking for in old stock or on ebay as the ram works on a whole range of pulling equipment.
