That slide hammer you linked would work great using one of those L brackets. Drill a hole through the end and stick the bolt through it and screw it into the half shaft and youll be golden.
I should just buy one already bc I end up renting one from AZ and while it works fine its got these claw things and it can be annoying at times to keep it on the washer/ bolt head.
I can see the puller method Kiki mentioned being handy if youre in a pinch and dont have a slide hammer but have misc hardware. Maybe I'll try that method next time around.

^See its funny bc Ive had better luck using the 3 vs the 2. Either way when I end up buying a slide hammer vs renting one Ill be welding up some sort of L bracket for it bc I dont think you can get much easier than that. Sometimes the knuckle can get in the way if you, you know pull out the outer axle and slip the eccentric bolts back in to hold the the knuckle to the strut and forget to pull out the half shafts before doing that. So now youre attacking it at an angle like I was doing last week and it fought me for 5 minutes, lol. I won but still think L bracket is the bees knees!

There you have it learn something new every day. For the numerous times I've had to pull the half shafts as easy as it is, my favorite was a rigged up slide hammer a buddy had with an L bracket like I was describing but the past few times I used a rental with the claws that worked fine but sometimes took me a couple minutes to get it on there nicely without slipping off.
Seriously though for such a silly lil trick that is great thanks for the further clarification

the puller method is super simple if you have junk in the workshop (like old wheel bearings or similar... ) You basically need a tube that is larger than the output seal (so that you do not lean on the seal) and a large enough washer.. I found it easier to do than use a slide hammer..
