GOOODDD MMMOOORRRNNNIIINNNGGG.
Idea--- give it a run through the neurons.
Instead of pulling and pounding why not this:

Jack up one side of WFE (not an abbreviation for wife).
remove that wheel/tire
remove clamps/bolts on that side, and PB Blaster (Etc) to condition the rusted interface.
Use a 8+ ton Hyd jack and the following to push in on the axle to break it loose, then extend it after it moves some.

Support heavy 5/8 proof log chain around opposite spindle with a metal buffer to spread the load on the tube. Hold up the chain with some timber to keep gravity from sagging it while working.

Use a piece of heavy wall rectangular tube about 6-7 inches long to run the chain across the end with the wheel off of it.

Place the jack so that it works horizontally and its foot plate is against the spindle, and its ram is on the rect. tube. (a porta power would be nice as well).

Apply pressure, keeping the system straight, and the force aligned as much as possible with the Center line of the tubes of the axle.

Just brain ramblings, from JimN
