And if you do want to remove the hub from the knuckle - either front or rear - then the rust you are showing in the pictures wouldn't hinder that job.

That's stupid and you're wrong about the rust. You're fired.

That's the procedure to remove the half shaft straight from the Factory Service Manual. Again, I'm not making stuff up. And how in the world will the rust in your picture prevent you from removing the hub from the knuckle?

Well bud, you got it figured out so why you asking me? Try it without removing the hub. But wait, you know everything and will make another comment on how I should do it. Have a good day.
