Instead of using anything that would have inserted into the wheel, I simply got three 2 1/2" by 3/4 inch bolts, cleaned the threads in the hub, lubed the bolts, and threaded them into the hub. There was room enough between the hub and the wheel that I could put a piece of 1/4" bar stock between the bolts and the wheel, with the bolts bottoming against the bar stock.
I then took a 3', 3/4" drive breaking bar (home made) and put all the pressure on the bolts that I reasonably could. Nothing moved, so I figured I'd come back in 20 minutes and see if I could put more pressure on the bolts. While I was cranking on the bolts the second time the hub came loose.
Kinda flattened the ends of the bolts, but I can take an angle grinder with a cut off wheel and cut the ends off the bolts so I can back them out of the hub without damaging the threads in the hub. I'll gladly expend the three bolts to get the hub loose.
Also, our local Agco-Claas dealer no longer stocks AC parts, but the parts manager was real decent about ordering the axle seal and O ring I need. Said they'd be here on Tuesday.
Still have to slide the hub off the axle and probably use my loader to lift the wheel off, but the critical part's done.
