put 2 bolts back in loosly, both ends, so it doesn't fall on your head.
Apply some WD40 down the holes, in the hope it will do something
Then get a chissel and hammer, and hit the $h** out of it, in the direction you want it to move.

You just need to shock it off, so a piece of wood and a hammer should do the job. Just be careful not to damage the CV joint, be patient it will let go! yµ (idµ - eAµ) ψ=mψ
