I gave it one more shot of penetrant and will give it the night to ponder its stubbornness. Anybody have any tricks to getting that bad boy out of there?
I just sprayed it with PB blaster, gave it a LIGHT wiggle and a few tiny taps to loosen it in the bore, then used a vice grip just clamped enough to stay on there, and pull it STRAIGHT out, if you pull at an angle you risk breaking something. Its in there pretty good, make sure to spray penetrant from inside the bore of the spindle hole too (you can always clean the bore with brake cleaner later before assembling the new bearing.
