Well I've had an update, they welded a huge bar to it and it still wouldn't move. He said the guys had never seen anything like it. I guess I'll be looking for an new hub.

I guess I'll be looking for an new hub.Worst Job I have ever had to do on a Honda by a mile. The steel brake liners in those hubs are prone to cracking too which makes them a bit hard to find. Can't they machine the old retainer out?
If you are really looking at a total loss on this one then maybe something unusual could be considered.I've moved components that are really really stuck by using an SDS hammer drill with rotary stop function to drive drifts etc and get things moving. You'd need a cold chisel tool that the end can be ground to make a hammer type face. The idea is to use the hammer on the extraction tool to drive it, they usually start off with no movement but persistence with medium pressure usually results in any bond breaking down.You don't have to lean on it like you're trying to break concrete, but a long consistent pressure normally gets anything moving. Oh, and they'd definitely need ear defenders as it can take more than 10 mins to make something move. But once it starts you've usually solved it. If the extractor has a hole in it they can use a long bolt through the bearing to keep engagement with the ring and not slip out.
One rear wheel for sale in the UK currently but they want 270 +P&P which is nearly half what I paid for the entire bike. Edit..... I've found a 500T hub on ebay for 20 quid. Does anybody know if they are the same? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/HONDA-CB500T-REAR-WHEEL-HUB/173973870328?hash=item2881a696f8:g:I1wAAOSwiZtdNqqt
Eight0 I have a rear hub that you can have only problem is it need a new liner as old one is cracked.In fact if you can get up to Kettering way I’ve a bag of stuff that you can have which includes brake plate with new shoes.
