Default wheel beaing fused to spindle?

rear wheel bearing was making some noise and had some play in it so I pulled it off.
after removing the hub I noticed the inner race on the bearing is fused to the spindle.
is there a trick to removing this w/o damaging the entire spindle?

Maybe heating with a tourch and use some type of "puller"? Be careful not to toast anything nearby.

Reminds me of the time I had a seized outer race on the front spindle of my old '57 Chevy. Heated that puppy and pounded on an old steel wheel to get it off. I think my ears are still ringing.

took 1.5 cans of wd40 and lots of pounding.
came off pretty smoothly once it was broken loose.
