It may be the dreadded rust causing the problem, They are quite a tight fit.

Perhaps it may be just as easy to take the two lower wishbone bolts out, then remove the driveshaft from the dif & then take the shaft out from the other direction.

You may find the splines a little tight in the hub, a few light taps with a copper hammer should get it moving.

If you don't have a copper hammer, a piece of hardwood will protect the threads & end of the shaft.

If you use softwood, you'll soon find out why it is called softwood after a coulple of clouts with a lump hammer
