I have the Harbour Freight tool, but I cannot get the bearing to budge at this point. I used the new bearing to be sure of the correct size for the rear plate. I sprayed the front of the bearing with PB Blaster yesterday. ...will see if it will budge tonight.

Once again: If you heat the hub with a heat gun (5-10 min) it gets easier. Hub is aluminum and will grow more than the steel bearing.
