Just did mine last weekend:
Went to Sears and bought the big 7 ton gear puller and used a big socket 
backwards in the middle of the hub.  Used a nut in the socket as a bearing 
for the puller center.  Took a little effort but the hub did come off.  Used 
the same puller to press out the hub bearing from
the back of the hub using a slightly larger socket.  Used a screwdriver to 
mangle out the hub seals.  Used a 2+1/4" pipe to press in new hub seals and 
a block of aluminum to press in new hub bearings all using the same big gear 
puller from Sears.  A lead knock-off hammer was also helpful.
