too much to break ! The last time I saw them they were around ?50 each, which makes the proper removal tool look good value if you end up breaking more than one.
If you are going to try again, given how tight your hubs appear to be then get a good solid spacer across the full internal face of the spinner to spread the load to the outer edges of the spinner as John has described. IIRC I used 1/4" mild steel roughly cut to suit.
If you're using a butane/propane torch then you'll struggle to do any damage to the components, so I'd give it a few minutes. That's the normal method for breaking down the loctite on Europa hubs and having done that job too many times I'd give it a couple of minutes heating at least. It's a big lump of iron there.....
