stuck rear hub help

[Lawrie]

My mate has a 48 that the rear wheel cylinders are leaking ,so he tries to remove the rear hub,we have the car on the hoist, proper puller on the hub ,no luck, tried every thing ,heated the hub ,no luck,the puller is a good quality Ford puller, it now needs a fix up as it distorted trying to get the hub loose.
We then heated the hub nearly red and still not loose.
Any ideas,
Our next step is to sacrifice the hub and cut it off, and save the axle.
