LT230S-How to Remove Rear Brake Hub from Axle?

Hi, I have an LT230S. The rear brake disc bolts to a hub that looks like it's press-fit onto splines on the rear axle. Is there a special technique or puller needed to remove it?

One of my disc bolts sheared off and I am replacing the hub.

There shouldnt be a special tool needed but if I recall right,the axle will have to come out a certain way.There should be a locking nut on one side of the axle,most of the time it is by your rear sprocket.Loosen that nut and the axle should slide out the bearing carrier and all.You will also have to remove your rear brake caliper which should only be held on by a couple of bolts.

Thanks, I'm not trying to remove the whole axle, though. It's the the disc brake hub on the right side of the carrier. It fits over the axle splines and seems to be pressed on very tight. I don't know if I should just start prying, hammering, or whether it needs a puller.

I'm going to try to heat the hub to expand it and pry and pull...

I could try to post a photo if that would help.
