If anybody wants the low down on the heavy truck stuff, let me know, I dont even use a hammer, or any kind of puller, Once they are unbolted, I pop them out with ease in 3 minutes or less .

Must be the road salt and corrosion giving you a hard time with the Subaru that has a wheel bearing in a hub assembly. The rears on my 05 Legacy were no issue whatsoever. Simply removed and replaced by hand. No hammers no needed force at all on a car that has spent it's life living in Mississippi with 125k on the clock. MUCH easier design than the earlier 95-99 Legacys that you have to remove the entire hub and press the old bearing out and press the new one in.
My once upon a time friend took an 05 Legacy GT that spent it's first 15 years running around Detroit in on trade. Once on the lift it went to the salvage auction. It was absolutely rotten underneath. I was astonished.
