Default Rear Wheel hub wanted

I recently went to get one of my rear wheel bearings replaced, but the hub was so rusted to the bearing that the guy was worried that he may damage the hub separating the two.

So, I was wondering if anyone had a spare rear wheel hub for a D3 that they didn't want just in case the separation process is terminal?

thanks

Had to replace rear wheel bearing on A6, took the hub off and took it to local garage to press it out and new one in. They said they have reached maximum rated pressure of their press but bearing would not move, they said going further would risk damaging press or hub. I asked if they have heated the hub, they haven't but got the welding/cutting torch out at my request and bearing almost fell out itself when hub was heated.
