What tool can I use or buy to remove a rear wheel hub on an 03 tl

I took off the main axle nut but the hub is stuck on, I don't believe there are any bolts to remove on the rear hub (correct me if I'm wrong. The hub moves back and forth slightly but seems really stuck, I tried beating it with a hammer to no avail. What do I need to buy to get this rear hub off?

Check your local autozone for their tool loan program.

That would help me a lot but it says FWD, can I use it on the rear hub as well?

Chances are that the inner race will stay on there, and you will need to cut it off.

You're almost there. the only thing holding that thing onto the spindle is the race of the bearing. It's probably gobbed up with dirt,grime,sediment and corrosion of those materials from years of use. a quick inspection of the new hub will show you there is nothing else holding it on.

that slide hammer is a great idea if it's that stuck.
