1: Remove complete hub with rotor from the car, after removing the brake calliper and steering and suspension ball joints from the hub.
2: Support the hub up off your work surface (I find working on the ground easier as you can apply more force through the hammer this way, than on a bench), and make sure you're not resting on the broake rotor - this will move with the hub as you push the back bearing off.
3: find a suitable sized socket to sit around the back of the back bearing, and protect with wood, while you hit it, slowly moving the hub and rotor in one from the back bearing. Once removed, you can undo the rotor bolts to gain acces to the front bearing if you also want to remove that, but the hub will be free of the brake rotor and hub body if thats all you want.
4: If doing wheel bearings, you can remove the front bearing with a cold chisel, destroying it in the process!
