I am not sure if I follow but I gather the large bearing is stuck on the stub axle? It is curious if anyone has Loctited it as is locked rigid by the stub axle nut and does not wear loose anyway. (I take it not a very early car with taper seatings!)
The large bearing must be good fit in at least one of the hub halves. With any gasket fitted and the steel washer for the felt in place, the larger bearing must be clamped. Can check with a vernier calliper. If end clearance will eventually move, wear hub, and allow tilt of the wheel.
Seems it may be difficult to avoid distorting the hub flanges or breaking the studs. Rather obvious with your trade, but can it not be levered with two pry bars?
Can turn a heavy plate which fits over the studs to beef the outer flange when pulling.
When all apart view stub axle for cracks.
