what Is the best way to get RJ hubs off

[Keaton 451]

I am rebuilding the transmission on my RJ 59 and I don't want to break or hurt the hubs, what is the best way, i tried prying a bit with a screwdriver and messed up the seals, they leak anyway, but what is my best plan of action?

Always pull from the back if it is stuck hard.

I removed the hubs from my 1054 last summer and patience worked for me. I took out the set screws and filled with Kroil and sprayed the shaft at the hub. Put a block of wood against the hub and hit with a 2lb. hammer at times then sprayed it with kroil again. I waited for a couple of days and checked it out and would fill the screw holes again. One day I noticed the outside of the axle  had Kroil dripping off it. Then it came off with no heat or heavy puller. I was blessed that both sides came off rather easy with Kroil and a little muscle. I cleaned the axle and hub and replaced the woodruff key and all is good now.
