The splines have probably pulled in tight in the flange. Try tapping the shaft
back a little with a soft hammer, tapping the flange outward. sometimes they get stuck.... Mark

I can't see them in the picture, maybe you have them, but if not you should get some axle stands under there. Once it is stable and safe then you can start pulling and pushing. As Groucho said, tap the shaft in towards the diff and then try and lever the flange. It's not uncommon for people to glue these things together with silastic and the like to try and keep the oil in:D. Perserverance and patients are usually all that is needed.

You taking the hub off or the drive flange?

The drive flange looks to be free and clear, and perhaps needs some gentle levering or hammering. :)

The hub assembly is still retained by the hub nuts under the drive flange.

If you are installing FWH the drive flange should be all you need to pull off. ;)

Using a large spanner and a block of wood as in the attcahed picture can sometimes help with the leverage.
