They told you how to remove the rim from the center casting. You also asked how to get the hub loose from the axle or to slide on the axle. ASSUMING you have this type set-up . When I did my '50 "B" I tried EVERYTHING and more that was suggested and over a period of two weeks,,,nothing! Here's a pic of what I did and why. You have to realize that rust, by nature, has great power of "expansion" similar to water when it freezes. It has tremendous power to crush from expansion. This is the same thing going on on between the axle splines and the triple split hub part. Rust "sticks" by expansion, not just because it's rust. Understanding that, here's a pic of what I finally did. Took less than 15 min and snapped loose and then came right off. Still needed a little persuasion until off the rusted area. Once ready to restore/paint, just fill in the 1/16th cut with JB weld and cannot detect. You do need a die grinder with thinnest cut off disc you can find. Take all the bolts out and also slide cast center in on axle out of your way. Once those 6 bolts are put back in the "3 section wedge" it can't go anywhere. You could split it at all three circles and it would still work fine and not go anywhere once assembled. Should only need to split one tho. I know I'll get some " backlash" on this from some who have had their come off easier, BUT, believe me , I tried EVERYTHING they will suggest and more. I had it suggested to just heat cherry red at that same point that I cut.....would let it expand enough...notta ! Cut it and be done.
