PB, wait, PB, wait, then impact. That did it for me. Took a couple hours for the PB to do its job. Even a breaker bar and steel pipe couldn't break it loose. It will come, you just have to be patient. Might as well spray those 3 bolts that hold the hub on too, those are the real doozy. After those bolts come off, the hub itself usually does not wnat to come off at all. REAL PITA if everything is stuck. Good luck!

3 unit bearings off? If they are out you can put your wheel back on and use a wood block between the frame and rim to press the unitbearing out. Its a nice trick i use alot when doing jeep unitbearings.

Yeah ive seen guys beat the hell out of the hubs with slide hammers for hrs then i strole up and pop the hub out with the steering in under a minute. Awesome trick for changing out shafts on the trail.

I just leave the 3 bolts threaded in about 4 turns, put a crappy socket on them, and give them a few solid whacks each with a 4lb hand sledge... pops right out. I'd use the steering trick but never really feel like risking tipping my jackstand or jack over by turning the wheels.
