Default Rear wheel bearing change

Hi All.

Had a crack at removing the rear stub axles from my Mk. 2 Escort on the weekend. Managed to remove all the bolts I needed to, but found it friggin' impossible to pull out the axle. Didn't want to start hitting it with anything harder than a copper hammer, the manual suggested some form of slide- hammer be attached to the 4 protruding bolts.

I had a look around for a tool to do the job, but all of the usual retailers were useless (I'm looking at YOU, SuperCheap) or told me it would take a few weeks to order something in.
Anyone have any time- and budget- friendly suggestions for dislodging the rear stub axles?
