I say this very cautiously......I have used a torch before to burn it down low enough to get the hub off. Do this at your own risk if you must! (try everything else first.)
Call Dan Benjamin for parts. P M me for the phone number.

Windy can I use a chisel and piece it out just enough to get hub off and then remove threads later?

If there is enough of a slot, a hand impact works well

If not enough of a slot, weld a nut on the inside only to the collector that is the biggest for the socket to fit thru the hub plug hole. Put a rattle gun on the socket and most times it will turn right out This is easier on big mills.
