It's a car wheel hub so I can't really get behind it because of the
wheel
flange. I was thinking of using the bench grinder to give more control
over the work, but the hub is too large to bring to the bench wheel
without
removing the work rest, negating its advantage.

Your suggestion of using the angle grinder may be more suitable giving
greater control with the hub in the vice.

If that's the way you want to do it I'd have though a die grinder
would be best for the job. Have you thought about welding a bit of
steel onto the race to give you something to hit/pull on?

The job is done successfully now.

In the event I used the bench grinder to remove the larger part of the
material, tranferring the hub to the vice, getting in the corner and
finishing with an angle grinder (150 mm type fitted with a very thin -just
1mm- Draper cutting disk) stopping when the sleeve was thin enough to go
blue. A tap with hammer and chisel cracked the race and it could be lifted
off by hand. No damage to hub shaft.

Thanks for the replies.
