Yeah. I was curious so had a search. I loved the comment
Followed by hammers, blow torches and home brew penetrating oil.

Yep, I could relate to the initial slide-hammer based enthusiasm followed by the dawning realisation that it wasn't going to work.

Would you like my opinion?
Last wheel bearing I did was on the X type. Started by buying a second hand drive shaft and hub with a new bearing installed and swapping the whole lot over. All because the bearing can be difficult near impossible to remove. Even with a 20 ton press!
It is more annoying if you need the car the next day for work purposes, and the car isn't ready.

Removing hubs can be a right swine of a job. I ended up making a dedicated hub puller out of box section steel, 5mm plate steel, and two 6 ton hydraulic bottle jacks.
