I have a rear drivers side wheel bearing that it totally shot. The wheel will barely spin and makes a loud ticking clicking sound. The passenger side spins fine. I cannot get the axle to come out. Grant it I have only tried the drum technique and not a slide hammer yet. Is there any chance the is a c-clip on this rear end? I was sure to remove the 4 bolts holding the plate on so thats not an issue. I may be buying a slide hammer tomorrow.

Slide hammer .I have ran into stuck axles before .It may have a bit of rust holding it in .I have had one axle that was hard to remove even with a slide hammer .Soak it with WD40 may help ,but make sure the shoes are removed first if you plan to reuse them .

I fought one of my axles the week of SEMA when I changed to rear disc. I used the drum as a puller on the passenger side, didn't work on the drivers side, I have a huge body puller, didn't work. I broke down and went to Autozone and borrowed a axle specific puller and 3 pulls it came it out. I bought the puller.
