I usually split the alloy housing, but yes, after removing the crank bolt, two M8 bolts will push the hub off altho I attach a puller there so as to not damage the case. Easy to make a puller using two M8 bolts, a flat bar with two holes and the long crank bolt

thanks has the run to dubs in the abby been sorted yet?
