If not done yet, spary some wd-40 etc penetrating oil to the connection between shock absorber and hub in a way that it flows down between those two parts and leave it for a while and then try again.
I'd advice not to pry the hub open from the slit where shock absorber metal plate goes in to the hub, since I have read that few people has cracked the hub doing that.
