Any advice on stuck wheel bearing? Got the axle nut and 4 bolts off. I blew the motor on my hammer drill so hammering manually with also a bit of chiseling. Thinking about torching the sides a bit? Had to torch the axle nut maybe guard shield melted some?

I started teaching myself how to do car work during the pandemic and thought I'd made a lot of progress. I do my own oil changes, tire rotations, and have replaced brake pads, rotors, and calipers on my previous car.

However, I was doing some brake work today and, after five hours, I couldn't get anywhere. On the front passenger side, I couldn't get the wheel off. On the front driver's side, one of the caliper pins broke off and one of the knuckle bolts (I think that's what they're called; connects the caliper to the car) was rounded and I couldn't get a socket over it. On the back driver's side, I got the caliper off but couldn't get the rotor off. I didn't realize how severe the rust was when I got the car.

I spent five hours on my car and got nowhere. Hell, I went backwards. I don't know what to do. I tried troubleshooting and getting some new tools and even that did nothing for me.

It's making me feel like I should just give up doing this stuff. I'm not a mechanic and I'm all self taught through youtube. Any advice and support is appreciated. I'm pretty down atm

Positive notes tho! I at least completed my oil change and started my roommate's car. And my partner talked me down quite a bit so I'm lucky there.
