Unhappy 2008 CR-V Front hub.

I have got to remove this hub so I can replace a couple wheel studs. I borrowed a nice slide hammer from Advance Auto. I can't get this hub to budge. Of course I removed the axle nut first. What else can I do or try? Any advice would be helpful.

after the axle nut removed, there is a cir-clip to remove.

Are there bolts holding the wheel hub onto the knuckle??
There are various tools available
One is the slide hammer which takes lots of luck and force to get wheel hubs off
Of course these things are not cheap. Especially if you are only using them once or twice.
My favorite is the "hub shocker". Or you could try the "OTC hub grappler".
Sometimes, if it isn't stuck on too hard then, ...
You can cut a stud or two and knock them out of the hub.
Then, you can put in bolts and nuts to push the hub outward.
The bolt goes thru the hole where the stud was. A nut goes on the other side(between the hub and knuckle)
Screw in the bolt and the nuts holds against the hub.
Using hand tools, it should push the hub out.
If it feels like it is going to break then stop
Also, watch for any deformation of hub or knuckle.
Good luck


Note: It is very hard not to pull out the bearing also.
Forget what I said about using anything.
You are on your own
