Default Frozen front wheel bearing

I recently changed my rotors and pads in 91 Accord EX. The wheel bearing welded to the hubs. Since it's weekend and I could get the new bearing and didn't know how to take them out without cutting them. I didn't change it.

1. How do I get the stupid bearing off?
2. The car vibrate just a little when braking at 50 MPH. At low speed, it will brake smoothly. Is it alignment or the bearing?

Thanks

If you've tried PB Blaster/other solvents and heated it a bit, you probably will have to replace that whole assembly

CarQuest can press that thing in and out for $35. I tried knocking it out myself and my bearing was toast a few months later.

PB Blaster = solvent for freeing up locked nuts/bolts

Spray it, set it over night, try to loosen/push it out.
