You don’t pull the front wheel bearing off the hub.

I replaced similar one (Optima?) in the donor chassis I got recently. It barely did 20-30k miles. Buy Volvo or FAG.

people are getting mixed up, the original question is if he needs a puller to get the hub assembly out of the knuckle. Often they are rusted in place and have to be beaten out (discard) or use a slide hammer. Use a three jaw to push back the axel if rusted In the hub as suggested.
do not keep screwing the puller against the axel to remove the hub as the transmission or axle will be damaged possibly. from large side load not designed to resist.

I don't get mixed up.

Once the 4 bolts holding the bearing are removed, it is just a matter of some hammering, it will come out.
