Stupid question but you removed the 3 bolts on the backside that hold the hub assembly in place right?

Shouldn't have to remove the three bolts on hte backside because the whole unit comes off the spline. In any event when you do loosen these first they'll hit that metal boot on the end of the driveshaft. Anyway got it off with the gearpuller finally. I can tell you now I tried what was in Mr Latham's write-up but I want to add you are NOT going to get that bearing hub off without a gear puller of some kind. You can rubber mallet and beat on that thing all you want and it's not going to come off. Besides you risk doing more damage than good. I definately recommend a puller of some kind. Thanks all, the car is finally quiet again.
