I laid the wheel on a workmate, protected by towels etc. Opened the workmate up so the hub was lying in the 'gap'. As the thread says, you need to use a drift and a hammer and a lot of brute force, but eventually it will straighten up.

Post some pics of the wheel so we can see how bad it is :daumenhoch:
