Alas, a wee bit of progress!
I knocked the wheel studs out, drilled the holes to 1/2 in (which is not much more)
Got some proper size bolts, (3.5inch ) cut the shank dwn , threded on a nut and a big washer for bearing surface.
Inseretd from the bac k side.
Some patience here as they needed to be modified for what they were to push against .
Held the bolt shank from turning with visce grips and tightened the nut to push the bearing out.
I assembled some unbelievable force on the nut in two places (not quite across from each other) whilst twisting the nut and hammering the wheel mount surface, things began to move!
I think I have an 1/8th now!
WEEEEEeeeeeeee! I QUIT for the day!
I think the lesson here is to take it to the shop next time? (if one lives in a rust belt)
Other wise YouTube shows those just being pushed out simply.
Not for the faint of heart.
Plus I am 70 something, and on hands and knees is not my favorite anymore if it ever was,,,
