I did some looking around.
Take a look at this and see if it makes sense to you. I haven't had to do mine yet, but the time is coming I'm sure

I've done a few and the easiest thing i found was to screw a couple bolts back in from the back that hold the hub in, not all the way, leave about 1/4" threads showing. Place an old bolt/extension/bar etc. in between it and something solid right by it, kinda like the picture shown above. Start the vehicle and using the power steering to help you, turn the wheel to push against the bolt you screwed in part ways. You may have to rev the engine to around 2k to get more power to the power steering and jerk it to the side a few times. This has always done the trick for me.
