If the wheel bearings had a catastrophic failure, the inner race probably spun on the spindle and welded itself to the spindle. If the outer bearing is stuck on the spindle, you have a big problem. It it's the inner bearing, just keep jerking on it till you get the bearing to slide the wheel seal out. Then you can work on getting the inner bearing off.

Dave, grab yourself a rubber mallet. Crank the steering wheel whatever way provides you access to the space between the caliper bracket. Whack the rotor, spin it, whack, spin, whack, spin... you get the idea. You MIGHT be able to get it to walk off. If the outer bearing is welded on, time to find a JY knuckle with a good spindle.
