I've found that a LARGE flat bladed screw driver usually does it. Haven't had an Equinox apart, but most hub assemblies have "ears" where the mounting bolts thread through. Use the screwdriver as a drift, and a pretty big hammer to rotate the unit in it's bore. The one we use is about 2 1/2 feet long, and lets you get the handle end away from the car, so you can really get a good hit on it with a hammer. You can usually get them to move that way. Then just continue to rotate it back and forth to break the rust free, then smack it out with the hammer. If the unit has a ABS speed sensor that's removable, be sure to take it out first. Also, you can thread the bolts back in, and try to tap on the bolt heads to move it out of the knuckle. They are pretty heavy bolts, and can take a good smack, just be sure not to damage the bolt head enough that you can't get a socket, or wrench on it. Easy to do when you get frustrated. Be sure to coat it all in antisieze, even the shank of the mounting bolts. I've seen them rust in the knuckle too.
