You could perhaps make a puller by drilling into some 6mm steel three holes. The two end ones for the wheel prongs, held fast by wheel nuts, and the middle one with a bolt through to push on the spline with a nut on it's reverse side forcing the steel away. Hope I've explained that satisfactorilly.

Yeh you did. Again as I don't have the funds, it has to be a garage job. I don't have enough equipment to fashion one either. Shame really but hey ho. At least I got 90% of it done.
Shame the neighbour asked about the banging, if only it was due to summat else ;-)
