As a last resort, loosen the half shaft nut, place a good solid drift, supported on an axle stand or similar, resting against the end half shaft end. Then hit it hard with a sledge hammer, brutal but almost never fails to remove a stubborn or damaged hub. Once you have it off find a better replacement or buy a new one from David Cochrane.
If the key fails and the hub spins on the shaft they can sometimes be extremely difficult to remove because of the ridges thrown up. The sledge hammer trick works but you need one good solid straight blow, not half hearted taps!
