Hi Richie, I have changed the stub in a casting. I cant remember what I did. I think I heated it and tried my small useless press, then I took it to a bigger press and pushed it out cold. It went with a bang. I had to do two of course. The casting of one was pretty shite and the other one had a slightly bent stub axle.

I suggest you set up in a press so that you support the casting as best you can close to the stub. I would previously heat the casting and introduce a penetrating oil (trans oil and acetone?), the day before. Then warm up the housing just before pressing it. You know the drill, I'm surprised you're asking.
