Someone probably has the "correct" way to do it, but I always used a large flat blade screwdriver and hammer. Tap the blade into the joint where the gasket is. As you get the two halves to spread a bit, move the screwdriver to another location and gradually work your way around the circumference. The joint is just stuck on the two pins and needs some force to loosen it. If the axle has not been removed for some time, it can be a bear to separate the joints.
Jamcleod is correct, you do not need to remove the large nut on the wheel side. You would do that to remove the stub axle and replace the rear wheel bearing.
