Impala While undergoing many facelifts in its history, the Impala has proved itself to both civilians and police forces as one of the most capable 4-door cars GM has ever offered. Currently moving towards its 10th generation the Impala is one of the longest lasting and popular models.

Default Rear wheel hub

I have a 2005 Impala and the rear wheel (left) hub needs replaced. I removed the rotor, the 4 bolts and the abs cord from the hub itself. The hub will not come out and I have used anti-seize spray on it and pounded it with a hammer and it will not budge. Is there something else holding the hub in place???

nope they can just be a pain sometimes, get a chisel and a hammer and beat around the edges and usually it'll work out

i'm betting you live in the rust belt.

sometimes i thread in some long old bolts a few turns into the back of the hub; then hammer on the bolt head to help push the bearing out. An air hammer works good cause it can be to confined to get a good swing with a ball pean hammer.
