Penetrating oil and a BFH. Good luck.

Maybe a little propane action would help too.

PB-Blaster and a propane torch. Spray the PB-Blaster on and let it soak for a day (spray around the hub). Spray again and heat the area with the torch. Heat the drum around the hub, moving the torch in circles. The aluminum will expand faster than the hub and start to break free. It worked for me, I heated it up for a little while and heard it pop, used the BMFH and off it came.
