I did not join the discussion on this subjuct when it cropped up under another post recently, as I did not have any pictures, but when I took the hubs off the special today I kept the camera handy.
My method is to fit a plain nut to one of the studs, and TIGHTEN it hard, (or the stud will loosen). Run on one or two more nuts to protect the thread. Then fit a large pry bar between the nuts and the hub, with it's handle wedged on the floor. With the hub held like this I have never had any trouble removing the nut, despite considerable force being need

A 33mm. socket fits the nut, and a 3/4" Tee bar with a 3/4" to 1/2" reducer finishes the job.

I know nothing beats having the right tool, but this saves forking out £45 for somethihg you may only use once. Cliff.
Still haven't got the hang of it. The pictures were suposed to be in the text, (where it now says attatchment)! Where did I go wrong?
