Need help with WBA

I'm doing my C5 brake install and having a really hard time getting the WBA off. Both sides are on there good. What did you guys use to break it free from the spindle? Any help would be appreciated.

Maybe I have brain lock, but I can't think of what "WBA" is.

Its the Wheel Bearing Assembly. Sorry . Used to seeing WBA in Bob Bishop's instructions.

Ahh...I'm used to calling it the wheel hub.

Obviously, you can't beat it up if you are going to reuse it. You might try a chisel to try to separate it from the knuckle. Go around each edge, evenly, because it is kind of a tight fit in the knuckle.

Mine practically fell out when I removed the bolts.

Thanks again as always. I'll give that a try. It seems like mine is grafted onto the steering knuckle whereas everyone elses just comes right off? Well, we'll see how it goes.

You got the only car with wheel hubs that they welded in instead of bolted in.
