Hello, sometimes these old bearings are stubborn to convince to leave their homes. I will leave the instructions on how to replace the hub below, with a diagram attached. Let's make sure the 3 mounting bolts are removed from the hub, as well as the axle nut in the middle of the hub. In the shop I usually use an air hammer, sometimes a punch and 5lb sledge to pinpoint my strikes. If you have access to a slide hammer that would help also. Worst case scenario you could remove the entire steering knuckle and work on it off of the vehicle. Please let me know how it goes, and please send pictures!
Removal Procedure
1. Raise the vehicle.
2. Remove the tire and wheel assembly.
3. Remove the wheel drive shaft. Refer to Wheel Drive Shaft Replacement.
4. Remove the brake rotor.
5. Remove the antilock electrical connector from the retaining bracket.
6. Remove the hub and bearing assembly bolts.
7. Remove the hub and bearing assembly from the steering knuckle.
