Default Wheel bearing/hub removal

So...I'm trying to replace the drivers side wheel bearing/hub assembly on my 98 4WD Blazer.

I have the vehicle up, caliper off, axle nut off, three bolts to the back of the hub assembly off...and it won't budge.

I've tried a puller on the axle and pushes the axle back and doesn't pull the hub off.

I'm frustrated and stuck...what am I missing?

Any and all help is appreciated.

try swinging a good sized hammer to push out axle....most likely rusted on there good and tight...mine came off with some p.b. blaster and hammering.....just dont swing to kill and damage anything
