If it won't come out by just wiggling it, you might need to take the axle out, so as
to get it from behind (or from in front, depending on your perspective!).  I was
rescuing a '94 knuckle from a SLO at the PnP the other day, and it was stuck pretty
bad, even out here with no rust.  So I tapped it on the business end, after getting
the axle out, and the retaining bolt, and with just a couple of taps, it came out in
one piece.  Use a socket extension on it, so as not to damage the magnetic pickup,
like a screwdriver might do.

I don't know as I'd pry it, because it might bend or distort it so that it will
never come out.  That might seem the easy second way, but I'd not recommend it.
