Front wheel hub

I did the notch method last night. It worked out pretty well, but it definitely took more time than I initially anticipated.

Another option is to place the entire hub in the oven at 200*F for 10 to 15 minutes. The aluminum hub expands faster than the steel bearing race. You can then just flip the hub over and give it a good whack with a hammer and piece of wood. The race generally just falls right out. Sometimes a little more persuasion is needed.
