Need quick help on Hub Assembly

Hello all. My drivers wheel hub has been screaming lately so i went out and bought a new Hub assembly. The problem is, i cant get the stock assembly off. I've hit it with a hammer, used a chisel, put another jack under the hub and dropped the car on it. Nothing is breaking it off!!

How can I get it to separate from the knuckle? I have to wrap this up in an hour, neighbors are getting pissed at the racket .

Thanks,
Matt.

The hubs are probably rusted to the knuckle. I had trouble getting mine out too. I soaked them with WD40 and let it sit over night.

I have the "Y" piece but not the slide hammer. I have some Chestertons but cant find it . I just sprayed a bit of WD-40 on it and am letting it soak.

Well, here's an update for future reference incase anyone needs the same info i needed.

After spraying WD-40 on the assembly 3 different times, and letting it sit overnight, i was able to get it off tonight. All i needed was a little sledge hammer and hammer on the hub outwards. Slowly but surely, it came out.

(Just remember to unplug the ABS sensor )

Thanks for the help guys
