reverse the clamps on a pipe clamp and make a handle like on a bench vise?

Search "Wheel Stuck on Drum" in this forum. One of the last threads suggests using oxy torch for fast temp rise of the heated part and lag time heating the part you want to stay cool. Follow with PB blaster while warm but watch out for flame development and have extinguisher handy. Let us know how it turns out.

Good idea, but that was already mentioned by a few as well as the poster. Trying to think outside of the box and give another option.

Take off the diff cover,remove the cross pin bolt and cross pin. Push in on the axle and pull the retaining clip. Now slide out the axle take the axle with wheel and tire to the machine shop and have the axle pressed out. Problem solved. @Camar068 is that far enough out of the box?
