Default Drive axle stuck in hub

I removed everything: axle nut, shock fork, lower ball joint, tie rod end, rotor, and the caliper. I started by tapping on the end of the drive axle with a rubber hammer as the manual states with no luck. I have since broken out the BFH and wailed on the end of the axle. Still cannot get the drive axle out of the hub. Oh yeah, I have used at least half a can of WD-40 with no results. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. I guess the last step is going to be to remove the steering knuckle and try to press drive axle out. I am trying to avoid the last step. [sm=headbang.gif]

Thanks in advance,
CC
