Assuming you mean the hub and wheel bearing assembly that has three bolts that go in from the back...
Get an air hammer and just use the air hammer to try and spin it, it'll start moving and you'll be able to get the air hammer in behind it. I bought the cheapest one I could find at Sears and I think it was about $40.

Ah yes, the infamous pain-in-the-ass ball joint. Easiest method without the $200 tool is to take a sledge hammer and hit the side of the control arm. Here is a video demonstrating that:

Slide hammer. Pulls the bearing off without destroying the knuckle or the brake backing plate.

Never take advice from a guy with camel-toe (Stacy)
