I recently burned one of my bearings so badly that I was able to take the
bearings out with a pair of needlenose pliers (they were far from round)
and thus remove the hub. Then I used a Dremmel rotary tool to cut through
the bearing housing that was seized to the spindle, then wack it off with
a large screwdriver and a BFH.
Hope this might give an idea.
