There's an even easier way to pull the axle shafts that doesn't require a slide hammer. Once you have the four bolts removed from the flange, slide the brake drum back over the wheel studs, open end out (ie, "backwards"). Now loosely thread three lug nuts back on the studs, flat side towards the drum. You can use the drum as a slide hammer on the wheel studs and the axle shaft will come right out.

By the way, it's not necessary to post the same question in several forums.
