Between esteban's pic and some stuff I found on another site for H233B, I think I have a plan of attack. Apparently the thing to do is pull against the big flange. I can put something together to make the pullers I have work.
This is apparently the factory nissan tool for pulling the bearing on the H233B:

And the factory tool for removing the nut:

Almost looks like the same nut as the 260. I need to pull some pathfinder shafts for my Xterra soon. I'll have to see if they're the same:

I am working off memory(that's risky around here) know I removed all the studs. Then I know I used some lowering blocks that came with my 54 Belair, and the blocks that came with the 12 ton harbor freight press I bought that day. Then I am pretty sure that with the studs out you can just get a bite with the largest harbor freight bearing splitter. Your actually pushing against the housing for the race if I remember. The splitter was just wide enough to clear the hub flange. I know that is all the stuff I used, and I stacked it all in there a few times until I got a good bite. I also remember thinking I should of gotten a bigger press on the first axle. Then it popped and everything was good.
I think it was a ford bronco front bearing socket I cut in half to make my tool
Heck there is the bearing splitter and lowering blocks laying by the press.
I don't remember having any problems getting bearings and seals, but most seals I get from metric seals.
Keep in mind this is an H260. They were never available in the US. I'm not sure the entire story on how it ended up under my rig other than I think the PO had it imported along with the 5-speed. I didn't try to source the seals locally since I was already ordering cylinders from Oz, I just had them throw the seals in the order.
