Thanks splatter paint, I removed all the bearings and the hub body, I’m left with the inner/guts, 11mm Allen on the inside / 10mm Allen on the hub side, I’m trying both directions, every which way, no idea what’s correct, if I new how to release it I could go at it with more conviction, any ideas?

Scrap that, 11 in hub side, 10 on the inside (not that it really matters I guess!)

“and the hub body”

Heat maybe? Alloy expands more than steel. Try boiling water (be careful!!) before anything more drastic.

The bearing surface looks shot, is it worth the effort to save it?

Still going, took the angle grinder to the aluminium trying to heat it up, the odd creek here and there, I’m still not sure which way it’s supposed to undo, common sense says anti clockwise but with hubs I’m never sure, next stop is my welder friend, get some real heat on it! It’s now not about time/money, just need to get it apart, I need to beat this thing!!!
