Question about removing front hub
I thought replacing the front wheel hub assembly would be pretty straight forward. I removed the 4 bolts and it should come off, right?
I found this thread to see if there was something else I had to do.

I whacked away at it with a hammer but it won't budge. Am I missing something here or can this thing really be seized on that tightly?

Had the same issue when doing my wheel bearings,
Figured it would come apart pretty easy, HELL NO! that steel hub assembly is nicely affixed to the aluminum upright...
I ended taking the upright/knuckle off the car and putting it in my hydraulic press, and pressing the hub out from the back, don't think any amount of hammering on it with it still on the car would have budged it!

Anti seize works fine. I used it after replacing both front hubs. What a PITA to get out...

I got the hubs out by threading long bolts through the knuckle into the hub. built a wood frame to just fit over the hub and support the knuckle. Tapped on the bolts with a 10 lb. hammer. In time it came out. Bead blasted the knuckle clean and used anti seize for assembly of new hubs ($40.00 on Ebay).
