That'll be the "hub" then!
That's a Reliant drum by the way for those of you lucky enough not to have worked on one. And a seriously rusty one too! Suggest you soak it in WD40 or Plusgas for a day or so first. The hub's on a tapered shaft with a woodroffe keyway to stop it rotating around the shaft. Some careful heating with a blow lamp then lumping it with the biggest mallet you can find sometimes works but you run the risk of weakening or bending the end of the shaft in the process. Easiest way -the way I do it! -is to take it to a local garage & give 'em a fiver to press it off for you with a hydraulic bench press. Any competent repair shop will have one. I actually go to the local Tech College & use the one in their mechanics bit.

my way of saying is much more flamboyant than hub 
so basically it just pulls off then.

  Yup, but it'll be wedged super tight onto the taper cos it's torqued up to quite a high pressure. When they're pressed off hydraulically, nothing seems to happen for a few seconds then there's an almighty bang as it frees itself from the taper.
