I've had success with putty knives hammered into the junction between the hub and the spacer after I heated it. Hopefully no one applied a glue or sealant to it before it was last installed. Also get some Nut Blaster and spray it around the studs before heating it. WD40 isn't effective enough a penetrant.
Not bolted - Never been removed. I will use nut blaster.

Thanks!
