How does one remove an old wheel hub/bearing? There is no mention of how to accomplish this in the FAQ. Given the high torque used for the post-1988 hubs, it might be very difficult to get the old hub/bearing off of the axle stub, especially if the old bearing is heavily worn. Will I need to use a bearing puller? Should I just take it to the shop to get it done?

Steve has posted to my last question about this asking that I update the FAQ, with photos too. I'll be glad to, but I don't want to get stuck pulling my car apart on the weekend and not be able to get the old bearing off, have it break and leave the inner race on the axle, or be unable to get the new hub/bearing on. Especially as I live out in the middle of nowhere and would have a great deal of difficulty getting a rental if I bugger up. Any help here will be credited in my write up for the FAQ.
