That should work. That's exactly how I do it on full size Rams. Always just use a hammer on jeeps.

I think the video failed to tell you to use the power steering to force the hub out.

I have used all the methods.

Video way is most effective for me.
BFH has worked in past
Heat and BFH (only use a lot if heat if I'm going to chunk the ones I'm taking off.)

Okay! The only other way is to remove the entire steering knuckle from the truck and use a hydraulic press.
