Is there any kind of tool to remove the front wheel hub? The bearings went bad and I'm trying to remove it. I have beat on but it hasn't budged. Autozone said there is no tool available. A tool is made for every job; there has to be something available. Any ideas or suggestions would be most appreciative.

Post 25 or 29. Used some bolts, nuts, and washers to install into hub and create a press. I didn't have to do this on mine when replacing ball joints due to having 55k on the clock, but the others who did it seemed to have great results. And they can be had at any hardware store
Others have used hack saw/chisel to break the outter most corrosion and used PB Blaster and hammers, heat etc to get it out. I'd go with the bolts though

Why does no one search?

The very first result is probably all you need.

Joegr-I'll agree with the search; yet, the first result is the probably the easiest hub disassembly/assembly there was in the forum. The OP has the corrosion variety - which...OP, took me two minutes to find.
I was just reading about the press method with the bolts. I will give this a try. Just thought there might be a special tool to use on jobs like this, as I assume mechanics don't use the bolt method but have a tool for the job. Thanks
