I have tried soaking them repeatedly with wd-40 and beating on the end of the axles and nothing is working. I've tried prying on the back too and they wont budge. Does anyone have any ideas? It seems like the splines are seized together or something.

WD40 doesn't work well, you need PB Blaster try that.

I think i used a pulley puller but the slide hammer works wonders. Maybe try a deadblow hammer.

Did you take the nut off? hahahaha had to ask

rent an axle/hub puller tool.. the one that bolts onto the studs and you turn the center to extract it out.. use pb blaster and wd40 to loosen it up before you do it to make it easier to pull out

You did remove the four bolts holding the hub to the spindle right?

^ >_<

PB Blaster FTW, worst case, dissconnect the axle from the diff. take off the big nut on the end of the axle that's right there at the hub. air hammer the very center of the axle (it should have a divot in there for your air hammer bit) and voila :D
