stubborn halfshaft V70-XC70

I'm in the process of upgrading my suspension and replacing the right side halfshaft but the halfshaft is proving to be difficult.

The outer end of the shaft will not come loose from the splines at the wheel bearing assembly. I've tried PB Blaster, propane torch, 2lb deadblow, and 4lb sledge.

Ideas?

When this is all done my bad halfshaft will be replaced, I'll have Koni FSDs, IPD front and rear sways, and HD endlinks. Too bad one item is the show stopper.

Worked great. Thanks!

Picked up a loaner from Autozone and cranked, banged, and sweated until it was out.
