In my experience, the best way to do this is to 
remove the entire axle shaft along with the 
hub, bearing, and housing. Then put the unit 
on a hydraulic arbor press. It will take at least 
a ton of pressure to remove, probably more. 
You can help it by gently heating the hub with 
a propane torch. Be sure to set up some padding 
underneath the press to catch the axle shaft 
when it pops out, so you don't damage the splines 
or the taper. Or your feet.
