Removing axle back from midpipe HELP

I was wanting to install my new axle back.

went to remove the OEM stock axleback so I took off those two spring loaded bolts from the axleback to midpipe. then I tried to pull the muffler apart from the midpipe.

ITS STUCK.

I need tips of how to get this off with out damaging anything

I've already tried prying with a large screw driver. Tapping with a hammer. what else have I missed?

need tips

spray some PB-Blaster on it, and then tap with a soft faced hammer around the joint. Or if that doesn't work, disconnect the muffler hangers and try twisting the muffler with your hands. That's just my .02 cents though.

Yeah I just took mine off this weekend. Did you take the muffler hangers off yet? If you bang on it, it's not really going to hurt anything except maybe mess up the gasket.
