Consider it a throw away item and just stick a screwdriver under it.
You could also use a punch on the bearing from the opposite side and see if you can tap it out. I'd just start with new. Unless you know they are brand spankin' new I'd start with fresh

I shoved a thick Flathead under and attempted to pry, but they weren't budging. They had also been sitting in direct sunlight for an hour prior. So I threw them in the freezer, which is where they are currently. I was going to try pulling them out of the freezer and hitting the outer edge of the hub with a torch to see if that will free up some wiggle room..

There is the proper tool for every job and considering these hubs are NLA, you really really don't want to damage them.
This is what you need:

ok ill be the redneck ... what if you took the outer bearing out put the nut back on > would the nut pass through the hub and act like a slide hammer when you pulled the hub ?

This is something that I am slowly starting to learn, and I love it. Picked myself up a nice set of Craftsmen Flare Nut Wrenches last weekend, and aside from the connection rounding-off from Hard to Soft line up front due to nearly zero surface area to grasp, these wrenches made ALL the difference. Money well spent.
Seal Pullers.... I JUST found out about these after I started this thread, haha.
Harbor has them on sale for 7.99, and 10 in stock. Heading there promptly at 4.
Thanks, Steve.

Flare nut wrenches are a must. The next step after that is "Crows Feet".
If you want to talk about must-have tools let's talk flex-head speed wrenches. A must have in tight places:

yeah this one is tricky, I spent a week with my car on jack stands spraying the connections wit PB blaster 3 times a day and scrubbing them with an old tooth brush. After a week they looked clean and brand new and they cracked with my flare wrenches with little effort.
Pre-bent lines are only $15 a piece on Pelican though, so I wasn't too upset, just felt defeated haha.

I actually have maybe 4 or 5 various sizes of the Ratcheting Wrenches that I snagged from and Estate Sale across the street last year.. I have yet to use them, but I definitely cant wait. When you stick a finger through the ratcheting end, and feel how many teeth are in such a small turn.......pure satisfaction.
