How to pull the hub off the bearing?

[Rabbit16v@attbi.com (Rabbit16v)]

I had a special large hammer and a large modified chisel for pulling that
race off of the hub.  Stick the hub into the vise and start hammering away.
Some on one side, then some on another side, etc. until it comes off.  Once
in a while you get lucky and the race will break and slide right off.  IF
you bearing was making gobs of noise, forget it, just get a new hub.  HTH!!
