Help!!!

I'm trying to remove my left rear wheel bearing from my 92 SC300 and can't for the life of me figure out how to get the hub out. I've disconnected all the things I was told to and the hub refuses to come free. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

If you're talking about how to remove from the axle, try using a slide hammer. That should do the trick.

I just loosened the 32mm or whatever axle nut and slammed on it via a metal mallet and a pipe that was a tiny bit thinner than the portion of the axle that was popping out of the hub. Slid out after a couple good swings.
