In a pinch you can use a Socket on an Extension if the Axle is not rusted in badly.
Don't use any sort of drift on the inner facing part of the Wheel Hub as the metal is thin there and using a large drift, punch or hammer on it deforms the metal.
Also new Rear Wheel Hubs used to be over $350 each and a used one would be a lot of work to remove at the Junk Yard.
Note that if someone is not up to changing the rear Bearings some have gotten a good used trailing arm and replaced the whole Trailing Arm.
I had to do that when I damaged my Left Rear Trailing arm.
Never had any issues with the bearings on the used Trailing Arm and cannot remember any one else having that issue when they installed a used trailing arm.
In fact the rear bearing seldom go out.
Note give your Trailing Arms a good inspection for holes rusted through them.
