You know I never thought of a slide hammer. The first time I did one of these bearings I didn't have a slide hammer and so never changed my techique after I got one.

If it went through the centre of the hub and pulled on the back of the bearing, rather than pulling on the hub it would be sure to get the whole thing out, assuming its heavy enough. I might try that on the next one

While a D4, it is similar and this is a slidehammer example.

It's £97 for a fully assembled hub/bearing but the brand is not SKF/FAG or similar, it is MAPCO.

They also do a the hub separately for £50 which could be pressed onto a top tier bearing by third party engineering services.
