          air hammers have a special adapter that hits it in that middle dimple. if you dont have access to air hammer see if you can get your hands on something similar and smack the dimple in the middle.

            Some times when stuck like that, access to a good air hammer seems to break them loose. Other wise a good heavy duty puller. Just do not mushroom that end,I have helped people where they have done that, and had to tak

                  The axle and midshaft are out thanks everyone for the help. when putting the new axle in should I use anything on it so it will not get stuck the next time I need to remove it. I was thinking ant-seize but not sure.
