Bearing frozen on spindle

[JTSpeedDemon]

I was taking off the front two wheels, and I ended up having to pry the front right off.
Then I noticed the inside bearing had pulled out of the hub and is frozen onto the spindle.
The bearing is functional, it's just stuck.
At this point, I'm going to do the the thorough solution and keep hitting it with PB Blaster for 3 days, then work it off.
Any ideas on how I might be able to get it off any better or faster?

HEAT! Also may want to try using a air duster can upside down and rapid freezing the shaft to shrink it. Make sure to do this outside with major ventilation. They contain a nasty bitterant....trust me, you don't want to get it in your mouth. It will taste like **** for hours or even days. Ask me how I know....

What would heat do to the bearing though? I'm trying to just do the BARE MINIMUM on a shoestring budget to get it runnin' in time so I can take it to the Pate Swap Meet, so I don't wanna replace the bearing if I don't have to.

Heat would expand it so it can be removed easier.....
The minimal would be... just put it back together...

Ok, sounds alright to me.
Anyone have a suggestion on maybe a low cost blowtorch or something to heat it?
This is only IF 'Blaster doesn't work.

Also can try mixing acetone and automatic transmission fluid. It is supposed to work wonders as a penetrating fluid.

And it might be a slight pain in the ***...but this probably would do the trick. https://www.harborfreight.com/butane-micro-torch-63170.html

Hey put a large socket on the inside of the bearing and hit the socket as hard as possable and it should send that ****** flyin'

Yeah if PB blaster isn't breaking it loose, I don't think that is either.

Well the combination has worked for me with my clapped yerfdog.

This mixture is proven to be the best penetrating and for getting things loose. I have attached an article with the experiments done

I'll see if I can get my chemical-stained fingers on some acetone, I know we have ATF in the garage. If all else fails I guess I'll just use my grandpa's torch. But I think acetone-ATF should do it from what y'all say.
