OT sligthly: 95 E36 318is rear hub

[takumidrift30]

Got a new member of the family, '95 318is. I need to change the rear wheel bearing, took everyhting off, got the collar nut off the hub and I can't remove the hub. Used a side hammer to remove it, still not even I think an increments did move out forward. What should I do, is there any other part I should look into that I didn't remove other than the collar nut? Thanks in advance guys!

do you have the speciality tool set for the rear bearings?

If not, you're in for a world hurt.

Bro I don't have that, was just a side hammer I was using. Kinda costly huh? But good for the long term.

I've seen some DIY links out on the web that show a homemade pipe tool that works.
