Default Hubs/wheel bearings...

Who has a nifty trick to pop those @#$^%* hub assemblies out of my steering knuckle?

And before you're thinking you're all slick and say something retarded...
I've tried:
Hammer
BFH
Hot Wrench
Slide Hammer
Air Hammer
and pretty much every combination of those.

Let the power of your steering wheel do the job. Remove the top bolt that is in the center of the knuckle, then only loosen the 2 bottom ones so that they have a 1/4 inch gap betqween the bolt head and the knuckle. Put a deep well socket on the bolt and turn the steering wheel so that the socket is aganist the knuckle and the force of the power steering will help push the hub out with destroying the bolt head.

Ok, I owe ya a beer... Took a lil persuasion, but it finally popped... Had to use the hot wrench, slide hammer and BFH to get it the rest of the way, but that was a lifesaver... Thanx!
