To remove the front hub I usually use three 14mm bolts and a metal plate between the hub and knuckle. It will destroy the dust cap so I buy new one with the bearing.

I actually have the set (bearing plus dust cap) in my cart at fcpeuro right now.

The last one I just used a slide hammer because I already had rented to do a rear bearing and I wasn't worried about damaging the control arm.

I'll use the long bolt through hub method on my next one. (Oh: quite important; grind the end too a slight cone or you can't remove it later add it will mushroom out)
