2015 Subaru Outback rear wheel bearing replacement. What a bear. Hundreds of blows from the slide hammer, and I even doubled the weight of the hammer; still wouldn't budge. The trick that worked I learned from @SouthMainAuto right here: https://youtu.be/dVMssN-nDiY?si=YAgV08MBr-HFKDu8. Weld some nuts on the hub and run a bolt through to push the hub out of the knuckle. Thanks for the tip!
