There are bolts holding it on from behind, and the axle shaft needs to be pressed out of the hub with the tool, after that it should come right out...
This is 1500HD

I have reommved the three bolts and the half shaft. The hub/ bearing assembly still isn't budging. I have made a puller out of an old half shaft that seats up against the back of the bearing with no luck. I have also sprayed it liberally with PB blaster. Any other Ideas?

You wont like it, but remove the knuckle and have a machine shop press it out.

I finally got it I had to take my air chisel, small sledge hammer, pry bars and my made up puller but it finally came out. Thanks for your help!
