IF you have an S8 it will have ALu upright (for weight saving) and you will not have a problem removing it. Only an issue with the steel ones.
I would disagree with this, aluminium ones are less likely to be corroded but if they are corroded it will be a lot harder to get them out then from steel hubs.

You can always use heat to try and free them up or drill them out if that does not help, no need to replace the whole hub.
