Good vid.  Not one oath either (or he edited them all out.... I did catch something about "take 5").

Sure it's possible at home with the right tool.  Even easier if you undo the hub nut before jacking the car up and removing the wheel  ;)  I have also seen a modified hub puller with a tube welded to it to hold a jam bar making messing about with clamps unnecessary.

Use a square hub puller, then it can all be done in a vice. Even easier still. When I was helping KD out I was doing a complete shaft assembly in less than ten minutes from shaft complete from flange to drum brake and taking it to component pieces.

It does help to have the right tools though...

it is fairly easy with the correct tools, I may get shot for posting this link but here
