That didnt work for me, i have had to do this job so far 4 times so can't claim to be an expert but this method of Mike's looks to have potential, and will certainly try it as first option next time.

First time i managed it with about 2 hours of hammering, second time it was longer, third time no amount of hammering worked so i used a puller. It was quite nerve wracking as the strain on the puller looked like it would give way before the joint.
