Did you remove the 4 bolts behind the flange. After you remove them it will still be to snug for prying it out.
A slide hammer with an axle flange works best, your local Autozone should be able to rent or loan you one.
A poorboy method I've used is to attach a chain to the wheel studs at each end of the chain so it forms a loop. Take something heavy an old junk axle or heavy walled pipe something you can swing. Slip it in the loop and practice your golf swing.
