My hub/bearing is seized onto the steering knuckle. How do I get it off without spending a few hundred bucks on a an air driven slide hammer?

i have not run into that issue, but maybe a propane torch and apply heat with some taps of a mallet or hammer

I found a slide hammer at my local NAPA for $80. looks like the job just got more expensive. Does everyone agree that i should replace the hub since im there??

Around these parts, you rent the slide hammer, and when you bring it back, they refund you all your money.

Not sure how it is around you, but worth a shot
