Yep. I have a spindle puller as described above. It look like a big socket that has threads on the inside. You thread it onto the spindle, attach a slide hammer to it, and whack it a couple times. Ford spindle have a longer piece that goes into the knuckle, and we got the one off my buddies Dana 60 in about 8 seconds after threading the tool on. I bought mine off ebay for around $30
