Once you have the bolts all the way out, there are a pair of roll pins that hold the joint to the stub axle. Also in there is a paper gasket. I would take a soft mallet and gently whack the side of the joint to break it loose. If that doesn't work, you can force a screwdriver in next to the gasket, preferably on the outboard end, and GENTLY work the joint loose. Take care not to scratch the surfaces, though: you don't want to hack a huge gash in the stub axle that will fling grease out.
Persevere and whatever you do make sure the car is properly supported when you are working under it.

Make sure you have four paper gaskets from our host here for the reinstall. Don't forget to retorque a few days after the install, as the bolts WILL work loose.
