Just went through this. Got new hubs and wheels from British Wire Wheel.
Talked to the local MGA guru who said he went to several places in town
and noone could get the old hubs off. He ended up replacing the axles as
well. I took mine to a shop here that worked on it a couple of hours and
gave up. They sent me to a place that does work on big trucks. These
guys popped the old ones off and new ones on easily. Be sure to tell them
to remove the little metal plugs before trying to press the hubs off.
