That's what happened in the video I looked at.
Maybe use some more PB Blaster and let it sit over night or maybe a little heat on the bearing
One thing he could try is to put the bolts about 1/4 to 1/2 way in and try hitting them from the back side May just cause the bearing to move somewhat
I know that's in a hard to reach area
I have never used PB blaster or WD40 to remove hubs, brute force usually good enough to get them apart.
His best bet is a slide hammer, makes hub removing alot easier.
Next is the hammer and chisel, have a metal file handy just incase a gouge happens. Just going to take alot longer to remove hub.

My first attempt was hitting the end of the shaft with a hammer, putting the nut on to protect threads but the end of the shaft flattening out to the point I could not get the nut off without grinding the end down. So that's why I stopped just beating it but I will try the nut and socket trick and hopefully get some kind of movement
That is why I would use a impact socket, putting the cv nut flush and hitting shaft with the hammer will mess up the shaft threads and or nut.
Learning experience for next time.
Use a impact socket, there beefier and can handle the abuse your going to give it, when you hammer away, I use a 4lb sledge hammer for stuck cv shafts
Make sure the impact socket is smaller in diameter then cv shaft end, cv nut flush to prevent thread damage , just in case.
Sounds like you got one of those pain in the ass cv shafts. PB blast it really good on the back side , if you can get it to go in

Yeh it's just my luck I get the one that won't budge. But thanks guys for the advice.
Did you unbolt the hub?
If not, do that, then try and remove the hub, get the hub to slide out about a 1/4", then try the socket and hammer, see if the cv shaft moves.
This will relieve any binding in the cv joint, or lack of slack in other words.

Yes I did have it unbolted and I tryed air hammering where the bearing bolts up to try and spin it a little but didn't want to move.
Ok, start removing the hub, as I mentioned , I think the cv is binding up, should not be this much trouble removing.
Get the hub out about 1/4" or more ,that should relieve any binding or lack of slack in cv, use socket and hammer on cv shaft, should start to move.
