Rear wheel bearing removal

[paintball4fun21]

I can't get my rear wheel bearings off.....I have tried pb blaster, sledge hammer for hours, massive torch for hours, air hammer, press,ect., finally took it to a shop and they couldnt get it out and gave it back to me, ect..., The axles are just rust welded in......I picked up the whole hub(bearing and everything) and have spare rear axles......How would I go about cutting this out....Just cut the axle in the middle? or does the whole front of the hub(outside by the wheel studs) have to be grinded off? I know there was someone on here that had pictures of it cut off but I cant find them again. after searching for a long time... thanks!

We just had to cut out a seized front hub off my roommate's 99 GSX. I have some of the pictures on my phone, but I don't know if they'll be of any help. Basically, just take an acetelyene torch to it and avoid cutting the spindle. It will suck and it will take some time.

I took a grinder and ground down the outer cup until it fit through the hole in the spindle. It took a good bit of time, but I didn't have any way to cut through the whole hub/axle assembly.

EDIT: This isn't the best route, but it works as a last resort. Be careful not to damage the ABS sensor if equipped.
