[TR] TR3A stub axle removal

After a 3/4 nice ride Thursday, I had a wheel bearing problem with the
driver's front. I had time to tackle it today and all went well until it was
time to "tap" out the stub axle.  I've beaten on the back side ( with the nut
on) for a couple of hours now and nothing.  I got  a 1.25" pipe and with a
washer tried to use a nut on the front side to pull it out and applied a whack
or two to the back side .. again nothing.  I've sprayed it with brake cleaner
- both sides - and PB Blaster.
Any other tricks before I have to pull the vertical link and press it out?   I
REALLY don't want to do that. Also, the stub axle does need to be replaced due
to scoring.
Thanks in advance
