Be sure to disconnect the abs sensor from under the rear seat instead of trying to remove it while hub is still on the car. It will be much easier and cheaper (easy to damage) to do with the hub off. Use a chisel under the sides of it. Good luck.
Already said the closed end wrench won't work. Even with a 3 foot pipe on the end of it. The bolt is actually giving rather than braeaking. ABS sensor wasn't a huge deal came fairly easily after turning it with the back. It literly is 2 bolts. 1st person to come get it out and replace the bearing gets $200!
