Very similar to what you need to do.
Instead of Pulling off the balancer from the crankshaft, you will Pushing
the axle out from the hub.

Essentially, you fix the puller to the hub via 3 bolts (wheel lugs). Then
you turn the center bolt to push out the axle.
Not much force needed for this. All you are breaking is the locking compound
they put at the end of the axle plus any rust etc.

You can rent(free) one of these pullers from Autozone.

I dont know if you need to buy some parts there are not. Buy a gallon of
windshield washer fluid and they  wont give you a hassle.

I used a universal 3 legged hub puller because thats what I have.
