driver's side axle - stuck??

[njm23]

Alright, my driver's side axle is stuck to the trans, has this ever happened before? I unbolted it form the trans and there was ZERo movement of it, even tapping it around the edges, nothing helped. My passenger side is fine though, any one have any ideas? It is literally stuck in there to the trans, I can't figure it out.

Big hammer, but you should undo the wheel bit as well, it needs play to move.

yeah, got it off. had to take apart the whole assembly which wasn't to bad, and even after I took it apart was still stuck so I just hit it pretty hard 5 or 6 times, knocked it out. So weird.. Besides that annoying problem the clutch install was very straight forward and I honestly found it to be quite easy.
