Default Trailing arm question

Well I FINALLY got my arms back today after about two months, and my friend who disassembled them for free(thats why the long wait) could not get the housing for the bearings out of one of the arms. I'm doing a frame off, and I want everything to look good, so I want to get everything apart before I send all the parts out for powder coating. Any suggestions before I take a big hammer to it and damage something?
Thanks,
SLY

There is a great post over in tech section. I used a punch and mine came right out , I think the housing is cut away for a place to place your punch.

Post some pictures. If the spindles are out, and the nuts are off, there is nothing but rust holding them together. Use a dead blow hammer or a heavy hammer and a block of wood to tap around the spindle support and the spindle flange to get the parts to separate.
