Have been trying to replace '09 subaru outback front wheel bearing/hub assembly all day (well I took an hour to figure out my clothes washer needs a new pump but that's another story). The old assembly is frozen in the upright. A slide hammer has disassembled the frozen hub and there is no going back. Heat and a hammer have failed to release what 4 years of winter salt have married. I fear having to remove the entire upright and take it to a machine shop for more heat and a press only to have the upright break. I'm out of tools (no compressor or air tools) and ideas.

This and my pick-up stopped running when I went to get the slide hammer. Good times.
