For mine, I ended up using one of the tools that attach to the lug studs and has a drive screw that pushes on the end of the axle. I cranked down on the drive screw, gave the end of the screw a few wacks with a hammer and then left it with pressure on it for 30-60 minutes. I would come back, crank a quarter turn, wack it and leave. It took a lot of cycles of that and finally the rust and everything else started to release. This was all after trying heat, penetrating fluid, swearing, praying and anything else I could think of.

Needless to say, everything got thoroughly cleaned and went back together with a thin coat of anti-seize. Future axle services were MUCH easier.

Go fast, take chances.
