The usual is heat and impact. If you have drilled out the center then you could try a blow torch on the area then poke some ice down the drilled out
area too (or a bit of steel thats been in the freezer overnight if you want to avoid burining your fingers).
Of course you may end up having to replace the wheel bearings if it gets too hot and the grease runs.
It'll probably be just cheaper to get another upright and get the steering hole reamed.

Rather than go on the attack, have a look at this on electrolysis linky. It is very
easy and quick to set up a small tub and have just the rusted clap in the water/baking soda. If you leave it on overnight all the rust will be gone
and the stud will just slide or fall out.
