Ok, but how do you get the prick back together without a machine press?

If the hub has been out lately and treated with never-seize, it
is indeed a 1 banana job. I have an old axle that has been forged
into a nasty wood chisel with a very low angle edge. It took me 4
hours of pounding, prying, and extremely harsh words to get ONE
hub out after 12 winters of salt slush. That makes it a 3 banana
job in my book. And yes, I have tried all the other methods
including a 6 pound hammer, two hosed wrench, tall jack stands to
get the clearance, full sets of taps and dies to fix all the
mashed threads, etc.

Smashed threads? Always put the nut back on upside-down to protect
the threads, or buy a puller of fork for the tie rod ends.
