Please help, having trouble pulling E-locker 3rd

I think the 2 long e-locker studs are rusted up.
The rest of the casing will barely seperate, but the part where the e-locker is, seems like it is still bolted in.

I have the elocker locked , the axles pulled about 4 inches on either side, and have pulled all the short nuts, and the 2 long nuts from the elocker.

Other than waiting for the wd40 to penetrate, does anyone have any suggestions?

Maybe a bottle jack under it, just enough to put some constant pressure on it, then a decent sized hammer and a block of wood. Sometimes it just takes a lil sudden force or the vibrations from striking it, even through the insulation of the wood.

1. Take the brake lines and e-brake lines off.
2. Make sure the axles are pulled out all the way.
3. Make sure all nuts are off.
4. Grab a big flat screw driver or a prybar and try to pry the diff out of the axle.

Got it!!
One of the actuator studs was rusted out really bad, all the other ones were fine.
Soaked it in wd 40 for 3 hours, and used an air hammer with a tuning fork to pop it off.
