My tire is off, but the bolt is stuck in there because one piece is basically stuck to the bolt. I dont know what it is exactly. Any help?

Is that the inner race of the wheel bearing stuck on the axle ?

The right side wheel bearing seized to the axle. Look at your wheel, it must be missing a bearing. You managed to pull the inner race out of the bearing and through the seal. Try using a 3 jaw puller to remove each part of the bearing off the axle. A penetrating lube like PB blaster and heat will help too.

At min., you’ll need to press a new wheel bearing into the hub. But you may need a new axle if you damage it trying to remove the seized bearing. Where is the wheel spacer?

looks like the wheel spacer is what's stuck on there or it's part of a spacer that might be inside the hub, but judging by the shape of your bearing you may need a new wheel hub for that jewel too, i pretty much guarantee that the wheel bearing spun in the aluminum hub. when that happens you got problems.
