Default Tips on removing front wheel bearing for '99 EJ6

This is my daily driver and the other bearings about to go. I replaced once side already and it was a real pain. I'm looking into different approaches. Has anyone tried heating with a blowtorch and cooling the bearing and assembly once its off the car to take advantange of expansion and contraction rates to loosen the bearing from its hole? Has anyone come up with a good puller solution if this is really stuck in with rust ?
