You can't get the axle off of the driver's side or the passenger? If you have the half shaft off the hub all you have to do is pull back hard. I just had 3-4 hard tugs on it and it came off. If it's the passenger side then make sure you have the shaft unbolted from the engine. The half shaft is connected to an intermediate shaft (IDK if that's what it's called) so it'll be better to unbolt it there. Besides that it should just pop right off if nothing else is holding it in. Just make sure to use a lot of PB blaster or something similiar.

That normally works every time, pretty quickly too. Weird.

I did, kept rotating every time I stopped for a break. I also hit the pry bar with the mallet several times.
I used a flat pry bar when I did them. Not easy, but eventually pops out. There is a c-clip in a groove that holds it in. Also, two pry bars on two spots helps keep it straight and makes it easier.

Someone messed up, just like someone sent me 3 bearing seals when the sticker says 2. The part number is correct, so I'm guessing someone else has my nuts and I have their screws.
