Once upon a time I had this problem with an iH truck rear axle. Wedged the axle shaft out with great difficulty, mm by mm. Finally the spline came out of the diff side gear and the truck rolled over my leg. It was an interesting, interminable tenth of a second waitng for the sound of my femur breaking, but fortunately that was not God's plan for me that day! Damned thing was on slope and not properly chocked, my brain-dead mistake. Hopefullly not your problem
More likely is that the little collets round the studs are stuck. The trick I was taught is to give the center of the axle flange a VERY good whack (or three) with a sledge-hammer...it usually bounces right out. You may want to hang a short piece of round stock on a wire from the studs as a "punch",to reduce your chances of destroying a stud with a foul blow.
