Like it's stuck in the tranny, or stuck on the wheel side? I often have to pry them out of the tranny. And if I can't get it out of the wheel hub, I put the castle nut on and pound it out that way with a sledge.

wheel side... pounded with sledge alot.

Ugh what a bitch, I mean bitches! Both front axles are stuck in the wheel hubs, wtf!!! We tried everything. Ended up pulling the entire hub assembly apart and laying it on the ground.

Only thing holding it to the car now is the wheel speed sensors. They are unbolted, but don't seem to want to budge. Do they just pry off? They look so delicate!

If we can get them off then Mark said he had some shit to get them apart with a press. I don't know if we really *need* to get them apart now, we could just put them back together, assuming we didn't eff up the axle trying to initially get it out (driver's side got the most banging).

Fukin DSMs!

PB blaster was my best friend when my axles were stuck on the hub.

Tried that. Maybe after they soak for a few days...I'll try and remember to hit them each time I pass by in the garage.

This is on a DSM?

This is on a DSM?

Yup, a 2006 Evo IX w/ 79950 miles on the stock clutch! No wonder people usually replace the clutch soon on these things, so shit like this doesn't happen!
