Nah... Simply run the nut up flush to the top of the axel and whack it a couple of times with a hammer..(don't worry, the threads will be fine)...

Then when you remove the 3 18mm bolts on the back of the knuckle, simply use a hammer tapping repeatedly on each side evenly (whack twice, go opposite end whack twice again, repeat as needed) the hub assembly will start to seperate from the knuckle...
