Wheel bearing replacement

2020 Ford Fusion SE - I’ve tried everything I could to get this damn axle to separate from the wheel bearing hub, and nothing has worked. I need advice.

I’ve tried hitting it with a hammer while the axle nut is on, I’ve tried hitting it with a 10 lb hammer, a sledgehammer, rented a tool from O’Reillys, left a blowtorch on it for literally 5-10 minute intervals, hit a chisel type tool with a hammer on the axle, tried a slide hammer and absolutely no movement at all.

The left axle literally separated in 2 hits, like butter.

The right side refuses to budge, any advice? 🚘
