You can see by how the 1/4 " striker plate is deformed , just how stubborn some of them can be to get out .
Rear bearings on Subaru is a whole other level .
Go on any mechanic forum, and they will tell you to hit it with your purse .
The method Bob mentioned above also works well sometimes, but you will destroy the bolts if you try to use the factory ones, and will end up with a trip to the dealer to replace .
Good luck
Ive seen people wack the ever living snot out of hubs with one of these things. seems like it puts a weird moment on the bearing surprised i doesn't tear up the bore for the Bering

How much is a new or nice used upright assembly for a civic. At some point may be worth just cutting losses especially if the original is so rusty.
