hey guys im 99.9% shure that the problem with my car is a bad right hub/wheel bearing so i took it all apart and i cant get the hub off.
do i need to rent a puller of some sort from the parts store or is it just being stuborn? i went at it with a rubber malet and tryed prying on it a little and i cant get it to budge. help me out guys.thanks

From what I understand, it is a sealed unit so there's no getting in and replacing just the wheel bearing. You're just going to have to bite the bullet and buy a new hub assembly as far as I know.

i know that i did buy the whole hub it just seems to be stuck to the stearing nuckle{not shure if thats the correct name}so i dont know if i need a puller to get it off or its just stuck.

I think it is called a spindle. Tall cast iron piece.

Get a metal hammer and a chisle. I tapped lightly where the hub and spindle met at an angle they they seperated easy. Hub was 3 years old.

After the 4 bolts are out is is just a process of taping it out. It gets rusted in place.
