anyone have a solution for removing a rusted bearing hub from the front of a '02 Sierra 4WD?? Slide hammer does not work, there is nothing to attach a normal bearing puller to, so need help....tried heat..have removed the entire front spindle and soaked in Liquid wrench....appreciate any suggestions. or known tools for this job..

For the stubborn ones I've used a blow torch and it usually frees up enough to knock right out.

Thanks Mike...we actually just got it back from the machine shop...had to remove the spindle and press out the bearing and hub assembly....I have never seen one so rusted. The truck has not been in a particularly harsh winter area, but the salt that got in really did a job on this part....appreciate the reply.
