rear hub assembly change out

I have to change out a rear hub/bearing assembly. Will I need a hub puller to remove the old assembly? I know you need one for the front ones as I have done them before, but didn't know if you also needed the puller for the rear ones.

I actually replaced my front right hub assembly with no hub puller. I just disconnected the strut from the hub and the other bolts holding it in place and was able to yank it right off. I don't see why you would need one for the rear, if they're the same as the front....

Just my thoughts :-)
