Help ! Can't get hub and knuckle off the drive shaft !

Ok took off all linkages but now the hub seems froze on to the drive shaft any ideas or specialty tools?

Tried a 28oz mallet and pb blaster ?...

The first item I do after the nut is loosened is to make certain the axle spline is loose inside the hub. Leave the nut at the axle end and hit the nut to drive the axle back, but with everything unbolted, there will be no resistance to hold the hub steady and drive the axle back, so take the entire assembly out of the car then you'll be able to support the hub and drive the axle out.

Just an FYI, that's the passenger side so the axle doesn't get remove from the trans, but from the bearing support.

I put a big sturdy puller on those that are stuck in the spline & push them out, I've had several that I had to pressure up the puller then take a torch & heat the hub before it would break loose.
