My rear axles were so tight we had to use a large ply at to apply outward pressure while using the slide hammer. In my case the slide hammer alone did nothing but tire me out. That rubber seal is very resilient.

I would put the rotor on backwards and hand tighten the lugs. Leave enough room on the studs so you can use the rotor as a slide hammer. Prob two good whacks and that axle will slide off.

You'll need a 34mm socket.
