One of mine had a little rust on the splines "welding" it into place. I remember a friend of mine had an old Porsche 914 and the axles wouldn't budge no matter what. He used PB Blaster, a torch, and a sledge hammer - nothing budged. He let the car sit overnight and they came out the next day with no problem. I think its just luck of the draw on how tight they're in there.
