First off spray some rust penetrant into the mating area of the shaft and hub.

Then wrap a wet towel around the base of the shaft to keep it cool and use a torch to heat the hub and when it is good and hot hit the axle shaft with a hammer to break it loose.

My machine must have cut out, but I just checked and got the beginning of your message.

Glad to hear you got it out.
