It's not always that simple. Some of them are so seized that nothing other than cutting the axle cup will separate them.
 
believe me i tried every thing i left it about 2 weeks soaked in pb blaster heating is a nono ### that heat mess the axle itself and the hammer i already did it with the other side like a year ago and didn't work, so i decided to do this instead of paying top dollar for a replacement or wait to find a used one.
