Default Replacing wheelbearing/hub 2005 1500

I am having alot of trouble with replacing my front wheel bearings..I have everything apart and trying to seperate drivers side drive axle. Does anyone have a trick for this? I have watched numerous videos and they just pry it out of the housing but mine is not budging..Am I doing something wrong?

Make sure you put anti-seize on the splines before you put it back together. It will save you from this problem later on. You may need to hit the end on the cv shaft with a hammer to get it free.

I rented a slide hammer from Autozone to get mine out. Return the hammer and they return your cash. Even with it the job was a pita.

Probably rusted on there pretty good... get as much liquid wrench (or w/e brand works for you) in there as possible to help loosen it up..

A slide hammer works well.
