Removing XB wheel hubs?

I'm trying to remove the wheel hub from the driveshaft and it seems that its on there pretty good. I'd like to check out the wheel bearings. What is the trick to getting it to come apart?

I just removed the front bearings today, I had to use a socket and some gentle taps to remove them off the drive axles and I could tell the bearings had some rough spots in them. But unhook the assembly where you can remove the back side of the drive axle and give it a few taps

I had to use a little heat but I managed to get them loose. I guess there was a bit of excess loctite around the axle.

I was comparing the the factory 19x10x5 bearings to some 22x10x6's, the type that are used in the aftermarket upgraded hubs, what a difference. It's no wonder why these things blow apart after a few runs.
