Driveshaft 'withdrawal' frozen in whl bearing 850 1994

Sounds like you've taken a few too many things apart now. The way I do it is by first removing the 36mm nut, then re-threading that nut enough to protect the shaft end and threads and use the 36mm socket to pound the shaft through the bearing hub. It can take ALOT of force with a large hammer to get that shaft to move. Once it starts moving, I unbolt the 2 bolts where the lower control arm attaches to the subframe. That's the only thing you need to have loose and the shaft will then come through the hub completely.
Some might suggest removing the two lower strut bolts but if not re-installed to the same position, your camber will be off and you might then also need an alignment.
