Thanks to John and Paul M, and also to Paul J and George T for their earlier comments. I had thought that the proper approach is to get a bigger hammer, which I will do. I have one of those three prong pullers with the knocker arm, which I will apply.

The axle on the side where I have removed the wheel doesn’t just slide out — probably a bit seized in the differential side gear. I plan to use a puller arrangement on itm, too, expecting that it will not need too much force. I’ll use the wheel nut to apply the force.
