Ok, job is done, and here is how I did it.

For a period of one week I sprayed Liquid Wrench on the axle sticking out of the hub. I put the big nut I originally took off back on the axle and let the side of the nut stick out ~ 1/8". Then I hit the side of the nut a few times with "average blows" from a 5 lb steel hammer... similar to a sledge but smaller and with a shorter handle. Then I'd spray a little more Liquid Wrench and let it sit another day. Then another few blow, and more oil. After the 3rd day, the hit felt "soft" and I could see that I moved the axle it a little bit. Then I removed the lower A-arm bolts to the frame and used my axle pressing tool to drive the axle all the way through the hub. Presto! Done.

Read my other post about how I then split the CV joint.
