A propane/MAP torch and a few heat, cool cycles will probably help loosen it and let the oils work in.

8oz can of the old school Kano pour on (just as good as the aerosols ) but you loose alot less with this then you would with a spray can the lowest priced one ($16.70) I've seen, but very few left in stock  from that one store,

 

Was $16.70, now the price (same store same amount and type Kano Kool) is $29.99.

Couldn't agree more! I should have bought some when it was $16, an 8oz can would last me a Purdy good while...... And the can i have is an aresol .... Still has joice, but no propellet...... I'll just punch a hole in the can and drain the rest into a small glass jar......

NAPA in Slidell is a locally owned NAPA , the guy owns like 7 NAPA stores  in the area  and he  is " ridiculously " expensive , this big sized spray can is right at $60 , the stuff is good as any , but for that price , next time I need some I think I am going with the Deep Creep from Sea Foam

When the parts get here, I'm going to change front wheel bearing any tricks to get them out without using a blind bearing puller?  The wheel hub is different than the rear ones not sure if I can knock them out without some sort of puller.

You should be able to just knock them out. The center spacer does have little tabs that is suppose to keep it in place but usually there is enough play to get on a bearing and knock it out.

What would you recommend using to knock it out?

A long punch, rod, crowbar or whatever you have around the width of the hub so it will reach through.
