Its just a tight fit, almost a press fit but it comes off. Keep trying, it will break loose.

This technique will result in destroying a bolt, but helps when the hub is rusted / frozen to the spindle.

Insert a bolt back in a few threads. Use it to pound away and push the hub out by hitting the bolt with a hammer.

Hit a few times at each corner until it starts to come out.

Replace with a 10 x 1.5 x however long the bolt is.

Replace with the grade 10 metric hardness.
