Bearing not budging

(1/2) > >>

JustcallmeMrT:
After finally getting the retainer off (courtesy of a home made tool from a mate) Ive tried to get the rear wheel bearings out for over 2 hours with no success. 
Tried heating the hub to get it to expand a bit, tried pushing it out with an expanding anchor bolt, tried cutting a groove in the inner race to relieve some tension, all with no effect.  Anyone got some tips? 

Trigger:
Is the axle collar moving from side to side ?

Bitsa (Ralph Wright - RIP):
The axle collar is the shaft that is between the 2 bearings inside the hub.If its free push one end over and get a blunt instrument slide it down onto the edge of the bearing and wack it then move round and hit it again finally pops out well normally for me
Cheers

If I hit the collar with a punch I can push it over, but even then the bearing won't budge.  I've mushroomed the end of my drift!

Can push it over with a drift.  Front hub moved fine, had the bearings out in 5 minutes... not so much with the rear.
