SOURCE: replacing front wheel hub assembly
should slip out pretty easy, but if its rusted together good luck. will need to use plenty of penetrating oil and let it soak. if it still wont come out yoU'll need to put the bolts back in a couple threads and put something like a socket over the bolt heads. if you have an air hammer use that but if not try hitting it with a regular hammer. will need to work all three bolts so it comes out straight. use anti seize on everything when you put it back together

Under the intake manifold. You need to remove the fuel rails and manifold to get to it. Not too difficult (about 2 hours)

Loosen the front lug nuts. Raise the vehicle so the tire is off the ground, and place a safety stand under the frame. remove the tire and wheel. Remove the brake caliper and hang it out of the way with a piece of wire. If the caliper won't come off the brake rotor, use a large c-clamp to compress the brake pads to gain enough clearance so the caliper will come off. Pop the dust cap off the center of the hub with a screwdriver or chisel. Pull the hub out about halfway then push it back in. This will pull the wheel bearing out far enough you can remove them. Installation if the reverse of the procedure.
