How to remove the stuck front bearing

Hello guys,
Any idea to remove the stuck front bearing? I loosened all four 17mm bolts and hammered them but no luck. I even bended the splash guard and hammered the bearing directly, but the thing just does not wanna come off. Since my car is 10 yr old and was in the snowing area for quite long time, and this is the original bearing, I was expecting it would be difficult to remove it. Now I ran out of ideas...

Thanks a lot for your input...

Don't loosen them all the way... Loosen a half turn at a time and the apply a lubricant like WD 40 or PB blaster. This loosens it up and then repeat the half turn.

You need a slide hammer. I rented one from Autozone and they came out with ease.
