Stuck front hub

I have a stuck front hub on my 2008 jk. I have removed the 3 12 point bolts and used a screw driver to try to pry / wegde it out and it didn't move hardly at all. Put the wheel / tire back on and gently used a sledge to see if I could work it free. It moved a little bit more. Any ideas? I am thinking maybe a gear puller might do the trick. It has a good amount of rust being a MN car.

help!

This. It's always easier to check the simple things first.

But on a 5 year old Jeep there's a good chance there's more than a little rust. You may need to break out the BFH with a good size drift and wail on it to get it out. And remember to coat it with anti-seize when you put it back together so it comes apart easier next time.
