Everything unbolted just fine.....until the end. I beat on it for an hour with with PB Blaster, a sledge hammer, torches, chisels, pry bars up to 6' long. I am a big dude prying on it ready to yank the truck off the jack stands. Nothing would break this thing loose from the knuckle. And I was worried about hurting something else in the process. I knocked one of the lugs to try and run some all thread through but it would catch the bearing housing flange and not the knuckle.
SO, I removed the arms from a gear puller and wedged it behind the wheel flange and cranked it down to the point of bending the flange but if finally broke loose and I eventually worked it free. What a *****! Slopped the new one up real good with never seize.
