I've knocked out the half shaft 75% out of the hub and it sort of just stopped. I thought I've read here you just pull it out of the hub and remove it?
Is this correct or did I miss a step here?
If you push the splined shaft back into the hub and then pull down on the differential connection (now that the bolts are gone) you should get some joy. The joint at the differential only has to come out of a small dish on the flanges fitted to the differential. The splined shaft has to go much further.

It is best to use a three legged puller (with deep sockets as spacers if necessary) to remove the splined shaft from the hub. Bashing with a hammer and a punch can cause trouble.
