Can't get hub apart to change bearings on 02

[JJSonnier]

I have an 02 Sport Trac and I've had a rattling in my front passenger tire for a little while now, I thought it was the axle, but turned out it wasn't, so I'm trying to get the hub apart to check out the bearings. Should just slide off, but it's not. I've tried about everything I can think of except a tension puller, which I have one I can use, but my tire's kinda sittin in my driveway instead of on my truck so I'm stuck! Any suggestions on how to get the hub apart to replace bearings?

Unfortunately it's a pressed in bearing. To replace it you have to buy a new wheel bearing/hub assembly.

Here's a much better price for the Timken bearing part...

In the past to be a cheap ass since I've gone through a few of these things having 35" tires on my Sport Trac I have bought a few from junkyards. But, that Amazon price is looking pretty good compared to Autoshack.
