Bigger hammer! Do NOT damage the end of the stub axle or the threads whatever you do. Which makes it hard to use a bigger hammer of course. I thread the nut back on reversed, to leave the flanged end out, put it on all the way (all threads engaged), then use a chunk of wood between the hammer (2 lb) and the stub end. Check that the nut still threads off easy with each blow to check for damage. Otherwise it will cost you at LEAST a 18 x 1.5mm tap...
The "official" technique is to use a slide hammer to pull it out from the wheel flange side.
You'll need a press to remove and replace the outer bearing from the stub once its out.
One of my favorite jobs! Hope you have a 250 ft-lb torque wrench too!
