if the 3 bolts were removed already, and the halfshaft is already tugged out of the tranny... try some WD-40 on the bearing support bracket... probably some rust build up.

if all else fail, remove the halfshaft bearing support bracket together with the whole axle.

Yeah, you're probably gonna have to pull like a mofo to get it to come off. Or do as Ben says and remove the support bracket.
