Default Rear Wheel Removal?

I am having a terrible time getting the axle out of the rear wheel from my 04 Volusia. It just seems really stuck. You can't hammer it out because the exhaust pipes are in the way and trying to pluu it out with vice grips isn't working either. I have also tried putting pressure back on the tire by lowering the bike from the stand thinking that maybe the weight of the wheel is locking it up.

Am I going to need a special tool to draw this puppy out? Any help would be appreciated.
