Are you using an axle puller? There are many different types of these but I am sure you will need to use one. The manual has you use a slide hammer which in my opinion works the best.

Below is the process from the manual but you can get a slide hammer from most any parts store that has a rental program. Let me know if you can't find one or have questions and we can go from there. Thanks
