Removing Wheel Hub Assembly

[Six0fclubz]

I am replacing the hub assemblies on both front wheels of my 2007 cobalt ls. However the hub is stuck on to the knuckle really good as I expected. What is the best method for removing it?

I have a gear puller, but I am afraid of putting pressure on the axle. Can the axle or cv joints break if you put too much pressure on them?

Already removed the axle nut and 3 bolts? Might need to tap the hub to loosen it up from the knuckle.

Ended up getting out after a good amount of hammering. Took quite a while, was pretty rusted in there. Might get an impact hammer before I do the other one.

Thanks for the reply though!
