After removing the four rear hub assembly bolts on my 2003 Corolla, the assembly still will not come off. Tapping with a hammer front and rear and applying penetrating oil doesn't seem to help. I am attempting to replace the hub assembly because of a bad bearing, ie I don't mind damaging the old assembly. What can I do to remove this stubborn hub?

Apply heat to knuckle (propane torch), which will cause it to expand and the assy should come out.
