These quite often rust in. Lots of WD, drills etc etc.
In desperation get the angle grinder out if all you need is the hub.
I watched my neighbour take one out with a Dremmel.
Dont use hydraulics to push the pistons out. You will have loads more oil to deal with. Easiest to cut the brake lines and let them drip dry.
You might not have a big compressor but you probably have a small tyre inflator for use in emergency. with an old tyre valve they make ideal little compressors for brake piston removal etc as they can usually get to 300psi.
Its a job best done with loads of rags covering everything to stop any splashes etc.
