Either roll the back wheels up on ramps or put it on jack stands. You can get underneath and whack it with a 2x4 to see if it will loosen. You can also use a prybar between the axle and the motor and try to wiggle it up and down a bit to break it loose.
Maybe try getting prybar between the axle and the motor and pry it off that way. But be careful doing that, the ring on the motor is aluminum so watch how much pressure you use.

If all that fails, you can do the last resort and pull the axle. Take the wheels off, turn the brake drum inside out (to protect the studs) and drop the axle on the drum, might take several drops and don't be gentle, drop it from a couple of feet at least. Maybe put a towel folded up on the floor for the motor to drop onto as well.

That's all I've got...anyone else?
