Fixing a "Spun Hub"??

If I spin a hub, which I have done twice in the past, can I press out the old and press in a new on my own? I have a hydro press just have never seen how the prop is put together. It would save an hour trip each way plus the wait time for the nearest prop shop to repair it. Just thinking I could save time and money if it can be done and I can find the hubs.

Thanks
Will

I think they bake it in an oven, buy a spare alum prop on craigslist and just UPS the repair job out.

I have access to all kinds of press equipment, however I would not attempt to do one myself.
Just my 2 cents though.
