Rent a hub puller from autozone if you don't wanna cut it. You'll get your money back when you return it.

Get a 36mm socket and a prybar I do the 4-5 lug swap on 180's all the time. From skyline's to Silvias and 180's. why are you removing the hub any way to take off the sheild
just get tin snips and cut it right on the line of the dust sheild's lip and then smoothe it out with a grinder

The front and rear have different size axle nuts. I forgot it's like 32mm in the front 36mm in the rear maybe? The fronts come right off once you take the alxe nuts off. The rears are pressed on though. I hit em off with a mini-sledge. That takes a little while and if you do that cover up the axle threads with alot of duck tape or something so you don't hit the axle with the hammer, screw up the threads and have to re-thread it...like I had too.

Edit: oh I guess if you're doing z32 brakes nevermind the rear hubs then.
