Default Help, axle stuck !

Hi, I need to change my axle. Everything is fine until I try to get the axle out of the hub. I tried zip gun, puller and eventually hit with a hammer (I already have the other axel so i don't mind what happens to this one). It seems it won't come out. What are my options besides changing the spindle.

thx anyway

You're going to have to take it to a shop so they can press it out.

I put the axle nut back on to prevent the axle from mushrooming while I smash it with a bfh and some lube. It did the trick, but killed the axle.
