Hub won't come off...

Hub won't come off... I'm trying to take off my right front hub assembly to replace the broken wheel speed sensor, but the dang thing is really in there. I spent a good 2 hours prying and hammering trying to get the stupid thing out. And yes, I removed all four bolts holding the hub in place.
Has anybody else come across this problem? How did you get the hub out? Everything I've found says the hub will pretty much just come right out once I unbolt it, but it definately isn't coming out.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Same Problem. I snapped one of the studs and stripped another. Gonna replace the whole hub...I just lifted the entire car with a jack and wood block. Will hit harder, any other ideas?

Just had the same problem last weekend, soaked it with liquid wrench, let it set for awhile, and proceeded beating the h*ll out of it, didn't budge. So my buddy shows up and I let him beat the sh*t out of it for awhile, nothing. Sat. morning my dad gets home I explained to him what I'd done to try and get it out, so he goes and looks at it, takes him 2 mins. to get it out. He looks at me like I'm an idiot 
. Where I'd been hitting it on mainly on one side it had gottin cocked and would not budge, all he did was beat it back flush in place and hit it evenly on either side so it would come out straight.
Hope this helps you out.
