Put the bolts back in the unit bearing. But only screw in about half way. Next, get a socket and a short extension. Put this on the bolt head. Now hit the extension with a hammer. Do this to all 4 bolts. Hit each bolt a couple of times, then move to the next bolt. You want to move the unit bearing out evenly.

Yeah, it's called a press. Yours is really stuck.
 You might be able to heat up the knuckle with a torch some, then beat on the bolts. Be carefully tho.

That's what a Chicago winter does to your car, the hub is rusted and now stuck in place... I had the issue, so did Spearfish25: Quick HELP....Hub removal!
A slide hammer is your friend.
