I'm asking for any tips on getting the rear hub off the axle on a W-4. The seal needs to be replaced and this thing is on there tight.I've been soaking it down with PB blaster and had a hydraulic jack pushing on it but so far no luck. Would heat be the next thing to try?

If worse comes to worse, you can do what I had to do. Take the four axle cap bolts out, the pto out and reach in and take the bullgear bolt off. Then take the hub and axle out. I then put it in a 50 ton press with 2 torches heating the hub and it still would not budge. Ended up taking it to a local fab shop that had a 500 ton press. They got it out no problem although they figured it took over 100 tons of pressure to move it. Hope you have better luck.

Hydraulic puller!With the jack,your only pushing in one spot,take out the jack,rotate the hub and put your jack back in,keep doing that and your PB,and she will eventually come off.You could also take off the big bolt and drive it in circles,turning the in the diurection of the tire you need to get off and it will start to slide,but be careful,it can and will come off.(Dont ask me how I know).When I did the other side, I rented a hydraulic puller!

Thanks John, I'll keep working on it and hope for the best. I'm going to try and get a better setup for a puller, with a little luck I hope she will come off.
