A slid hammer isn’t cutting it. Any ideas? Maybe some heat? I’ve had them out before without issue as far as I can remember.

In the past on other stuck axles I have reversed the brake drum and used it as a slide hammer, and in others I have used a jack, or ratchet strap to pull harder than I could do with just a slide hammer. You likely just need to pull harder somehow.

I did hook a cheap strap up to a big sludge hammer but the strap tore apart pretty easy. Maybe I’ll hook up a bigger strap tomorrow and give it a shot

If youre trying to pull the rear hubs off. I've been there to switch to 30 Spline axles. They are on there GOOD! you will need a hydraulic 3 jaw puller. NO silde hammer will do it. I've tried. This is what you need:
And when you apply all the pressure you can to it (and this one was 15 ton, you "Might" get by with a 5 ton, not sure), it still may not "pop" off. DO NOT STAND DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF IT AS IT WILL HIT YOU HARD WHEN IT DOES LET LOOSE! apply as much pressure as you can by hand, then stand off to the side and hit the hub with a heavy hammer. it WILL throw the jack across the floor when it goes, so be ready and not in the way. I think they use sleeve retainer on those hubs, just my thoughts. Anyway, make sure nothing you value is to the side of the Roxor when you try this, you may regret it. the jack flies about 4 feet. Ask me how I know...

No I’ve got the hubs off. The first time I did it I had the same experience. I used a 20 ton and bent the puller lol. This time they came off by hand! Not sure why they’re so simple this time

ahh, well then, all that is holding you is the bearing race. A slide hammer usually slips that out fine. at least it did on mine.,,
