I have sold the axles so I really need to get them out un-damaged.

Are you trying to remove the stub axle's or the axle from the diff? That red arrow is pointing at the stub axle flange. There's a circlip on there that holds the axle in the diff, but it really is just like popping it out.
Once you've unbolted the axle from the stub axle and moved it out of the way like you have in your photo, you should be able to just twist and pull the axle out of the differential. I can't help but think you're binding the axle against something when you're trying to pry it out with 500lbs of force... Where's your Haynes manual? If I weren't in Geneva, I'd scan the pictures and post 'em...

yes we know.... your a sissy. im not flying down there any more now.
do you have a rubber mallet? you can try hittin the flange with that to see if itll pop out, your haveing trouble getting the axle out of the diff right? not getting the axle off the stub axle (as you call it the hub)

i vote drop the diff if you cant pry it out, it shouldnt be this hard. rubber mallet it, or if you dont have one get a sturdy 2X4 put it on a surface of the axle and use a small sledge on the other side... think damn you THINK!

I don't see how hitting the side of the axle will pop it out. We will see what I can do in the morning.

wtf is a flange? the big circular metal pancake type doo dad on the end of your axle that has holes in it for bolts to go through and mount to a similare surface. aka the stub axle, or the other side of the flange that has a spindle on the opposite end of the flange that the rotors sit on to turn the wheels. your such a n00b for saying that.
