in past experience I've seen the center of the wheel actually rust or just from normal road grime stick to the hub I had to kick the outer edge of the rim if that don't get it loose dictating on the kind of rim you have can use a pies of wood so you don't damage the rim but put the wood against outer edge of rim and hit it with a hammer will have to go back n forth from left to right side of wheel but it will come loose

please keep in mind this only works if all lug nuts are indeed off the center nut you was talking about does not hold the rim in place it hold the axel tight in the hub, which I am assuming you have a front wheel drive vehicle due to your question

remove wheel cover then with tire on the ground just loosen lug nuts just a little dont remove lug nuts then safely raise support vechicle.then remove front tires.

remove the axle nut first, always took the upper ball joint loose just take the nut off apply some upwards pressure and hit spindle with hammer and it will allow you to move the hub and all out enough to remove axle. the upper ball joint nut has to come off
and seperate the ball joint from the steering knuckle
then plenty of room. good-day ! then just slide axel out,or pry between axel and ****** to pop it loose, it has a locking clip on transmission side. when putting back in make sure axel is locked in ******. and do not forget to torque axel nut when done.

You should be able to hammer out the wheel studs
if you have clearance
You shouldn't have to pull the entire bearing assy

Look on YOU TUBE there are all kinds
of videos of hub replacements

You remove the axle nut & 3 or 4 bolts
holding the bearing assy,that is all
The axle stays in place
There is no puller involved

The brake drum is most likely just rusted to the axle. Spray a liberal amount of WD-40 where the drum meets the axel and repeat. Apply some pressure to the drum via a screwdriver or pry bar and smack the axel with something like a three pound sledge hammer and it should pop loose.

remove tire
remove axle nut
remove 3 bolts holding hub in
sometimes may need to hit hub with hammer after all bolts out to get it to release

Remove the wheel cover and loosen the drive axel hub nut. loosen the the wheel lug nuts raise the vehicle and support it well. NOTE: you will have to be working under the car be very careful. remove the drive axel hub nut. To prevent the hub from turning, insert a screwdriver thru the brake caliper and into one of the cooling slots on the rotor. remove the control arm-to-steering knuckle. Check for the ABS sensor and remove it out of your way. Separate the drive axel from the hub. If stuck remove the brake caliper and rotor. Push the axel out of the hub with a puller or you can use a good solid broom handle and drive it out. If you are removing the right side axel you will need a slide hammer and adaptor to separate the axel from the trans. If you are removing the left side, carefully pry the axel out of the trans. with a large pry-bar positioned between the inner CV joint and the trans. case. Use the subframe as a pivot point. Hold the CV joints so they do not separate inside the rubber if going to reuse them. Lubricate the new seal with multi-purpose grease before you install it.

Some hubs have a sweet spot to change the studs If not you'll have to press out the bearing by removing the tie rod,ball joint, axel, strut and breaks then take the hub to someone with a press.
