Stuck bearings on Goldtec

Once upon a time, I bought a 3rd or 4th hand Goldtec wheelset and apparently someone had changed the bearings already however, I felt that perhaps it's time for another change as they felt a bit shit.

Long story short, after many hours of intense banging and WD40 I managed to get the bearings out from the rear hub (whoever changed them before me didn't bother greasing the housing/axle) however, despite my best attempts, the front doesn't even seem to budge.With the upcoming weekend I was considering just spraying the living shit out of it with WD40, letting it rest overnight and then seeing whether it has made any difference but that is more or less all I've got.

Anyone have any tips or advice for dealing with the situation?

Pour a couple of kettles of boiling water on the hub. Then try the thumping again.
