Hmm, interesting. So maybe hold one of the other bearing bolts between the halfway threaded bolt and something else and have some turn into it? Ill give that a try, thank you!

I wouldn't use one of the bolts you need, cause knowing my luck and probly yours too, youd damage the threads on the bolt and have to spend time cleaning it up before you can reuse it

ok, I got it out. Took 3 nights! I tried turning the steering wheel into it using a rod and that may have loosened it up. I ended up threading the bolts in the hub and taking a hammer to back of those and eventually it came out. I had to get 2 new bolts but it was worth it. NOW i have another problem. My brake pedal occasionally stays high and hard. I cant press it, the abs kicks on and the truck just glides and doesnt stop! TERRIFYING! I pump the brakes and eventually it goes back to normal. Its never done this before. I just installed a new hub and sensor on the front right and rotors and pads on the front. What would cause this? Is it the front left hub and sensor or the power booster??

Sounds like you need to check your abs sensors. They had a recall a while back. The metal would curroid/rust and push the sensor away making a problem like that. Mine did it at one point but I replaced both at once. Any codes? Abs light?

The abs light comes and goes. I replaced the left front sensor about 3 weeks ago and the front right sensor is new as of yesterday. Ill take them out and wipe them down but I wouldnt think they would get dirty that quick! I appreciate all the advice!
