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.

Weird, I have never had one come apart that hard before and regionally I have worse weather. I’ve swapped mine at the track between sessions when I blew off a boot.
