grumpy is spot on as always with his advice.
I can give you one last chance option if you don't have access to an oxy ect and it is seriously rusted in place.
For safety wrap the bearing race with duck tape, only one or two layers. Jack up or place the stub axel on a block directly under that race in a way that the bearing race is taking all the weight. Then get a cold chisel an a decent hammer and start chiselling it from dead centre ontop. Its case hardened so its going to chew up your cold chisel edge fast, will need several resharpens. Case harden steel shatters like glass hence the duck tape to catch the shards. wear goggles ect. The idea is it should expand some from the chisel and or shatter some of the rust between it and the shaft before it shatters and loosen up on the shaft. But it may not and will shatter the actual race first, either way your problem will be solved.
DO NOT hammer on the stub axle unsupported.
this is a last resort method only if you don't have access to pullers, welders or an oxy to heat it with.
