I moved your thread into the correct forum.

You have removed the axle shaft retainer nut, right? Try hitting it with some penetrating oil.

Can you get a puller, to remove the shaft?

Keep hub bolted on and hit the cv shaft with a big hammer.

Hit the end of the axle and if it moves you're set. Use heat too if its really stuck.
