For the seriously difficult ones, I use special tools like:
A. Large three jaw puller.
B. Wheel hub puller.
C. https://www.google.com/search?biw=1280&bih=902&q=hydraulic+three+jaw+puller&oq=hydraulic+three+jaw+puller&gs_l=psy-ab.1.0.0i30k1j0i8i30k1l2.192801.197546.0.203009.9.9.0.0.0.0.153.1219.0j9.9.0....0...1.1.64.psy-ab..0.9.1211...0i7i30k1j0i8i7i30k1.7utnZsW8PyU.
D. Other options not available outside major industrial areas.

That said, 99% of the time.
I use a piece of eight inch long 3/4 diameter brass round stock (held in Vise Grip or Channellock) to drive it out.

Any material that will take the pounding, and not injure you or damage the splines or threads is OK.

I have successfully used:
* One inch delrin round stock.
* One inch hard wood dowel.
* One inch bronze round stock.
* One inch copper round stock.
* One inch nylon round stock.
