Mine was a pain, but I just kept at it and it finally came off.

Hit the end of the axle ( like to take it out ) with a sledge hammer and just put a piece of wood on the end so you don't damage it and hit as hard as you can. If you took out the nuts it will come right out you don't need any thing special . It just need a little help to come out ( big hammer )

What is the axle clip i removed everything the repair manual said too. Is that the big e-clip on the inside of the hub closer to the bearing carrier? thats off!
