umm dont know exactly what ur looking at, but once u remove the lower control arm from the hub it should be able to slide out of ur way making it so u just pull the axle out of the transmission, if the axle is stuck in the hub and the hub is able to slide away then YES something is stuck, if ur replacing the axle is suggest banging on that as much as u want just make sure u dont damage nething in the process, take a look at the one axle u did get out and see what might possibly be binding the other one in.
