Yea its just rusted on. Malletizing it will get it off. I hit it one side then the other side to loosen it. The U joint center is a pretty stout place to hit it.

1) Try penetrating lube, like PB Blaster or Rusty. Spray it on heavily, leave it alone for a few hours (or days), then whack on it again.

2) Heat it with a torch. If you've already used penetrating lube, be careful.
