Passenger side axle stuck

[PicklePirate]

I have an 86 chevy k20, I replaced the axle in the passenger side come to find out it's the wrong one. It is completely stuck pulled front diff cover it seems wedge in there. I've beat on it with a hammer and everything can't seem to get it to break free any suggestions would be awesome.

Full floater?

Might have a broken spider gear?

Should be able to push it out if it's an open front diff

Many parts stores have loaner tools with deposit. Need a slide hammer.

I have a 20 lb slide hammer I made, the axle always comes out. I would not hammer on the axle. As stated previously by Squaredeal, get a long bar run it through the other side and push it out that way. the spider gears will guide it.
