You can put the brake drum on backwards and just put the wheel nuts on a
couple of turns and use the drum as a slide hammer - always works for me!

Same thing... sorta... The hub is held in place by the inner wheel bearing
race.
Remove the hub/bearing using a slide hammer type device attached to the lug
nuts. You can make one from some bar stock, ling piece of all-thread and a
piece of pipe, if you don't have the tool.
