its not coming out of the tranny or the hub?
I usually just use a big ass screwdriver and pry it out from the tranny..they're held in w/ snap clips and are kinda hard sometime...try rotating it back and forth as you pry and pull...

did you separate the lower ball joint/lower control arm? If you do that, your rotor/hub will swing out far enough that its easy as hell to take out

Hold up dude...don't beat the shit out of anything. you'll end up breaking something else...
Take a ball peen hammer (the kind with one side of the hammer head is round) and set the round part on the end of the axle...Then take another regular hammer, or a short handled sledge (8 lbs. or so) and whack the ball-peen hammer....that keeps the axle from getting damaged (or the hub) and should provide the right whack to knock it loose. Also, spray some WD-40 or brake cleaner or something all up in the splines and stuff to loosen the thing a little before you bang it. In addition, you can leave the nut on the axle (just a few turns by hand) to protect the threads as you hit it. But the ball-peen hammer usually works pretty well. Good Luck. :smoka:

yea i like sastanley's idea. First i would spray it with WD-40 and then i would take a screwdriver or something like it and a hammer and just knock it loose from the outside. If you just work at it a little, it WILL come out.

Update
Hey sup guys. I got the axles off and i used the impact hammer. On the driver side it came out like it was nothing. On the passenger side it took awhile to get it out after we kept hitting it with the hammer. So after that we used the impact hammer to take it out and it came out fine. Just thought i'd let u guys know
