Default 1997 Dodge Grand Caravan FWD - Rear Hub / Bearing Removal

1997 Dodge Grand Caravan
Front Wheel Drive
Disk / Drum
Right-side hub/bearing removal

What is the trick to removing the rear hub / bearing on this vehicle? Per the shop manual, I have removed the rear wheel speed sensor and the 4 hub / bearing bolts.

The service manual lists no other steps after the bolt removal, but my hub/bearing is not coming out. I don't see any other bolts to remove, and the hub/bearing feels like it is welded on.

What simple step am I missing?

Thanks - Kirby

its simply corroded in place. if the bearings shot and your replacing it anyways, dont be afraid to wallop it with a BFH

or fire a cold chisle between the hub and mating flange of axle
