Another way to heat the hub, which I like, is a plumber's torch with a MAP gas cylinder. Take your time heating things up both on removal and installation. I prefer brass drifts to steel. Chisels are meant for cutting, not for moving parts, so be careful if you use one.
A hydraulic press can be helpful but it's also a good accelerator for destruction. It's not a substitute for heat: even with a press, warm the hub. Good luck!
