Front wheel bearing removal the easy way

I don't know if this has been mentioned here yet but it's worth covering again. I am doing ball joints on my '99 and this truck has the rotors behind the hub. Not easy to remove. Unless you use this trick: back the four hub bolts out .5 inch, use a deep 1/2 drive 9/16 with a 1" extension, place the socket and extension on a hub bolt and start the truck and crank the wheel. The hub, rotor and everything falls right out. You may have to move from front to back once or twice but it sure beats breaking the old rotor off with a sledge hammer.(Don't ask me how I know)
