rear wheel bearing - help

I' m replacing a rear wheel bearing on my 30k mi '01 S. I removed the cv from the gearbox. I removed the 32mm axle nut. I expected to be able to pull the axle out of of the hub at this point. No go. Gave it a couple whacks with sledge hammer. nada. This is a CA car with no rust. Is something else holding it in there?

Are these cars purposefully designed to be contrary and infuriating? And whats up with a bearing going out at 30k mi? And there is no question it's the bearing. With the rear jacked up off the ground and the wheel spun, it sounds like the bearing has crumbled or is loaded with sand.
