Default Wheel Bearing

So I'm replacing my wheel bearing. everything is disconnected and the half shaft is out. I cant get the half shaft out of wheel hub. Do I pry the wheel hub off or do I hammer out the half shaft?

ok, but i think I'm stuck on the step before removing the bearing, as the half shaft is still in the hub. Unless that tool will remove the bearing and or hub with the half shaft still in the hub.

Generally I use a dead-blow hammer. Or being very careful, a hammer and brass punch. The bearing in the video is not the same as the Crossfire suspension. The video shows a hub that bolts in. The Crossfire bearing must be pressed in.

yea, different suspension but same half shaft. The half shaft was stuck in the wheel hub on my car. Just for future references of this post: the point of it was removing the half shaft not changing the wheel bearing. I ended up having to go to a shop to have the half shaft pressed out.
