I use a slide hammer like this attached to the axle flange on the two M8 threaded holes.

Some people use a chisel between the axle flange and the wheel hub. If the sharp tip is aimed carefully at the gasket, damage to the surfaces can be avoided.

hrrrm dont use a chisel

there are normally two threaded holes in the end of the axle flange, put in some 10mm metric bolts (high tensile preferably) and wind it out!

wind each side a little, tap with a hammer on sides gently as it comes, and also spray 5-5-6 or wd40 as it comes, need to break gasket, should only be the resistance of the gasket , splines should come easy with no resistance at all, if its a lsd maybe take hand brake off.
