Brake side hub looks homemade.

I’d suggest a long screw driver through the axle hole and onto the rear of the bearing on the opposite site hub if that makes sense. Then gently tapped with a mallet.

Im guessing the aluminium hub has corroded itself onto the aluminium centre tube.

Gently tap it with a copper/hide hammer should also help, spinning it on each tap.

Pics of the rest of the bike?
