I've had this problem a couple of times before, its normally that the outermost bearing has rusted/seized onto the axle.
If its not too bad then as sfb has said try to lever it off, or clamp the freebody carefully into a soft vice and give it a good tug.
If it is really stuck good and proper you will need to drift the axle out from the drive side to disk side with a soft hammer using something to support the wheel while providing space for the axle and one bearing to pop out, which if you have the hope tools its easy to get back in. You will see a rusty deposit on the axle that will just carefully scratch off with a penknife. HTH
