THE abs SENSOR IS NOT WORKING AND IN ORDER TO REPAIR IT I NEED TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE WHEEL HU. I REMOVED THE THREE BOLTS AND WITH A PULLER AM UNABLE TO FREE THE HUB FROM ITS MOUNTING FACE. IITRIED TO WEDGE IN A SMALL CHISEL TO SEPARATE THE HUB FROM ITS FACE.
WHAT ELSE CAN I DO TO BREAK IT FREE? WILL PENETRATING OIL WORK?

Not sure if you did this already but have you removed the axle nut? It's a 36mm nut so you'll need to get a socket of that size. After you remove the nut, tap out the axle (careful not to damage any threads) with a hammer. It should not be too tight in there so don't whack the life out of it. I just had to do this little project myself this morning to change an axle. Hope this helps.
