They are often tight, real tight. Put bolts back in half way, turn your steering and trap a socket in between the bolt in the knuckel and the yoke, use the leverage of the steering to push on the bolt, back off and move to one of the other bolts and repeat to work the hub out of the knuckel. Work it out a little side to side each time.
Be patient and don't sucumb to the urge to get rammy. Once out, clean up the inside real well before installing the next bearing hub and use antisieze on the surfaces. The hubs slide real snug but weather and corrosion tend to lock them in making it a pita.
