Did you pull both nuts and washers?? Try jacking the axle carrier a little to take the weight off of the suspension.
You can also put one of the nuts back on a couple of threads and put a wrench or bar on the underside of the nut and try prying the nut and shaft out enough to get it moving.
I did mine last year and it was much easier removing then reinstalling.
