It's apart.
Brought it to the automotive shop in beautiful downtown Meadows of Dan and asked Wally for a little help. He put it in his press and after a few snaps releasing the pressure, it came apart. "Just stuck" he said.
Looks like there may be some minor surface pitting on some splines, but nothing major. With a new freeze plug and cross it should be good to go.
This application between two axles that don't move very much may have been the problem, no exercise.

Just Stuck? 
I'd say really really stuck! Glad you got it apart. I need to get me a press...

Nothing like having the guy who does this kind of thing for a living have a go at it... Glad to hear that it is appart...
Now, go find something else on the truck to wrench upon...
(Meanwhile, I am headed out to work on the M817's exhaust...).
