WTF?! Rear hubs

How do I get the rear hubs off? I undid the three or four bolts through holes but its still on there solid as a rock! I need to put longer wheel studs on (they are too long to do without taking it off).
 


I wedged a chisel in behind the backing plate with a BFH, tried banging on the backing plate, the thing is solid as a rock.
 
I just looked it up to make sure I wasn't missing a step, and it's pretty straight forward. Remove the caliper with bracket, remove the rotor, disconnect the wheel speed sensor, remove the 4 bolts, and pull the hub out. Has to be rust, gotta love midwest winters.
 


You might just try a large 3-jaw gear-puller. That's how I got my front one off the very first time I did a hub change.
