spider drive shaft

["Ed & Marsha Prytherch" <mred2u@domain.elided>]

I have the driveshaft out of my 79 spider to replace the center support and
bearing. I have split the shaft and I have removed the 30 mm nut from the
rear of the front section, but I cannot get the flange off. I have tried a
big gear puller and I have given it a couple of good whacks with a 4 pound
hammer and steel drift. My plan now is to take it to a machine shop on
Monday to get it pressed off. Is there another way of getting it off without
using a press? It would be very convenient to finish the job tomorrow as my
wife's car goes into the (BMW) shop on Monday and we are down to my GTV and
the crippled spider.
Thanks,
