Ok so I never got
Around to posting pics up. Sorry guys, as long as everything is unbolted just yank the hammer nice and hard. Even a freshly replaced hub can be stubborn once it sets in there

 

I yanked the hammer real nice and real hard and the wheel bearing separated before the inner part of the hub even started to let go of the knuckle. Now I need to spend $200 on a new hub/bearing, and take the entire knuckle out and try to use a hydraulic press to get the rest of the hub out.

My advice: Use a slide hammer, but if it seems like you're yanking way harder than is healthy, stop before you make an expensive mistake like I did.

 

yea same here, have been working on this all night and soaking it with penetrating oil. I cant get the hub off every bolt is out and i have been waling it with a hammer **** just wont come off.. any advice?

 

You really need a hub removal attached to a slide hammer and just wail on it. Took a couple of good hits to get it freed up. Good luck

 

im wondering if i am starting to do damage VS getting the hub off. all the bolts are out and i been beating the hell out of it trying to get it off. the hub is coming out but its not where the back side is bolted to the spline. did i trash the hub? or should i use a bigger hammer. lol

update

i got the hub out. but there is a little wobble in the assembly. ok or replace?

 

The pictures are not visible. Could the OP please bring the pictures back up?

Just replaced my driver front hub today, where it says above a few 'light taps', I had to instead 'beat the living **** out of it' with a hammer and large mason chisel. But I did eventually get it out. The process was much easier than the effort to get the hub free from the knuckle but I do live in the northeast, dd my car year round and have 105k miles

 

Hey thanks a bunch for the write up and taking the time to do it.

BTW what did u tq the 4 bolts that hold the hub assembly on to?

 

I believe I've read a few different numbers ranging from 80-88 lb-ft
