The axle nut is easy. Using the handle of my floor jack makes removing the nut a short order.

A word of caution, once you have three bolts making contact with the bearing seperator , go only a turn at a time or less in a crosswise patters or you will bend the bolt...I know. Once you do this the hub came off pretty easy....and yes the bearing came apart when I did this. When you pull the actual bearing it iwll take a pilot a little smaller than you think....keep the puller greased very well with a high quality lubricant (Do not even think of using WD40 it is not a lubricant) and that bearing will come right out.
