I like the sound of this - attempts to dislodge the axle using the 'hub shell resting on something' technique have proven fruitless so far. What do I hit? The QR?
ketsbaia-
you remove the QR from the axle. one side of the axle should face upward/to you, the hub-bearing covers are removed so that you can see your red rubber bearing covers. now hold the hubshell firmly in one hand and hit the axle with a mallet. you should see the opposite bearing coming out of the hubshell with each hit. repeat until axle with bearing falls out. remove bearing from axle, re-insert the axle in hub, remove other side bearing.

Hit the QR. Possibly the bearings outer race is gunked or rusted hence pretty stucked to the hub shell.

You mean leave a disposable QR in the axle and then hit it with a hammer? Thank me later.
