A tip that has helped me immensely is to let the bearing in the knuckle, nock the insides out and use a dremel to cut a grove into the bearing from the inside. CAREFUL dont cut to deep into the knuckle. This will release the tention between the housing and knuckle and it will come out very easy with the slide hammer.
This is an intelligently made DIY video. Thanks for producing this. I don't understand why more people don't just buy a complete hub/bearing module. That way you don't even need a press. I didn't need a slide hammer when I did mine. I was able to pry the bearing housing out from the upright fairly easily. I'm guessing that if you live in an area where they salt the roads, it may be a lot more difficult to remove the bearing housing. I don't believe in going 180 deg. on the axle bolt. It's just not necessary. Even if the bolt came out nothing catastrophic would happen.

An air hammer on the loosened bolts might help
Torque for the 12mm triple square bolts? I keep reading either 80Nm or 80Nm plus 90 degrees.
Great video
👍
I believe you were supposed to do the initial torque with the wheels unladen and no weight, then do the 180 with wheels on ground.
Well done ! Thk u
