  The ONLY way to use a chisel whatsoever, for this application 
is as a wedge!  You still have to watch for chips and bits but 
if you don't have an oxy/acetylene torch...  Alternating across 
the bearing, one lick at a time, drive the chisel between the 
bearing race and the hub.  
  As James said, wear heavy clothing, protection, etc and this 
does work slowly and reasonably safely. Don't ever try and 
split a race with a chisel though.  At least one of these wheel 
bearing races.  :-o
