Im overhauling my rear beam at the moment. When I was taking it out, the handbrake cables were welded to the hub. Ive managed to to get them off but Im after a picture of how the hub looks like originally.

The cable sleeve has welded itself to your hub. You are going to have to use lots of penetrating oil, a fair bit of heat, and smack it out with a drift through one of the hub holes. Be careful, or you'll damage the wheel bolt thread in the hub and then you'll need a new hub and wheel bearing too.

Looks like the end of the cable outer is still in there.
I suggest you buy your new cables now, so you can see what you're dealing with.
Careful action with a drill of the appropriate size should get most of it out, or you can try a parallel punch from the other side, but the hub flange gets partly in the way.
