you use your brass drift to hit the ends of the studs that the collets are on this will usualy loosen them

give the hub a tap around it using the hammer, like on a TRE

tried that just bending the hub

Sometimes they can pop and not show too much. Can be because of silicone gasket. You doing it with bolts still on. I always just tap the side of the hubs with a hammer.

Undo the nut til the face of it is flush with the end of the stud. This will avoid damaging the thread and can reduce the likely-hood of bending it.
With a good sized drift or even a bit of steel rod. Have a look around, you'll find something (I've even had to use the handle of a breaker bar or the pin of a treg coupling to get me out of the poo). Using the drift on end of the stud against the nut, give it a good, sharp whack. Tapping it wont work, must be a good hit, but be sure to hit it square on or you'll destroy the stud. You may only notice the cone has moved a millimeter or so if it is held in there by goo, then once it's loose, pull it right off with a pair of pliers.
Belting the crap out of the hub will never work. You will simply butcher your hub.

Remember:
* Must hit it square on
* Must be a good, firm, whack

You should have tried to tee up a time to be there when they attempt to get them off, then you could see the method used and you would know for next time.
