I need to replace the right rear wheel bearing on my 1997 Pontiac Grand Prix SE. I have removed the wheel, removed the caliper, and removed the four bolts that I thought were holding on the rear wheel bearing. I can't get the bearing to let go. How do I get the bearing lose from the spindle? Please help. Thanks.

It's probably rusted in, so a weighted head convincing tool may be required.

Yeah, I kind of figured it was rusted. Just did not want to assume that and break something in the process. I will hit it with some WD40 and let it set. What exactly is a weighted head convincing tool? I sincerely appreciate your help.

How much difference is there to replace the Front Wheel Bearing Hub on a 1997 Grand Am??? May be purchasing one in the next few days.

Difference will be it has 3 bolts holding it to the spindle, along with an axel nut that needs to be removed. Otherwise same deal. Remove brake caliper, caliper bridge, rotor, axel nut, 3 hub bolts, and you should have it.
