Removing front wheel hub assembly

I need to remove my front wheel hub assembly tonight to replace a backing plate for my brake duct setup. So far, removing that wheel hub assembly is the hardest thing I've ever done to a car. That includes removing the entire drivetrain from my Vette. Problem was, that damn wheel hub just wouldn't separate from the mount. It took a ridiculous amount of effort and I even broke tools attempting it. I'm confident I'm probably making it harder than it should be.

There has to be an easier way. What do you guys do and what do you suggest?

This photo makes it look so easy, but it seemed as if my hubs were literally welded to the surfaces.
