Its tougher than the drivers side, but it will pop out.

Hate to say it, but just keep trying (assuming you have everything disassembled to allow it too).

I have had this happen from time to time. Here is what I have had to do. You take the one axle out that you can get out. You should now be able to see through the differential to see the end of the other axle. You will need some long nose needle nosed pliers and you have to try to compress the clip on the end of the axle while someone is prying it with the pry bar. It takes a few tries ... but it is probably the only way you will get it out of there.

I pulled mine apart yesterday and the pass side was kinda tough too.

I used a prybar and 5lb hammer. After a couple of hard whacks, it still didn't come out. I then turned the axle 180 degrees and whacked the prybar a few more times and it popped loose. Try that if you want!
