Taking rear hub off

Taking rear hub off
Hey guys. Trying to change the rear wheel hubs on my gf's car. Piece of cake until I try to pull the hub off. I'm using a slide hammer I rented from AZ and nothing. Tried hitting it from the back with a hammer, drenched it in pb blaster, put the wheel back on and tried to pull; nothing. I read most threads on here; everyone says to keep trying but still nothing. Anyone have any ideas? I didn't n heat it b/c of all the pb blaster all over. Is it hard to take the e-brake assembly off and maybe try to pry it? Thank u in advance for any suggestions.

Thx for the suggestion guys. Unfortunately, even after applying mapp heat it still won't budge. Any specific spots to apply the heat. I went from the back of the hub, the screw holes and whatever I could from the front between the ebrake. I've done a couple hubs before but this one takes the cake. I refuse to give up but this ____s driving me crazy. Is it hard to take the ebrake mechanism off?
The AZ slide hammer adapter can only fit on one lug. Should I look for one with two or more for more resistance? Thx

pierce the ABS back cover with a screwdriver and pry it off,there is a hole on the rear control arm it takes some force but once removed take a punch from behind and the wheel bearing will come right off,make sure you remove the 4 12mm bolts,the ABS has a snap ring inside that you need to break from prying and POW your hub will be laying on the groung
