Add a large eye bolt at the end, weld it on, and connect a cherry picker or come along to that end and let the machine do all the hard work next time. I've had to do this on my Ford trucks and I can tell you that they were much much more difficult to get off, and that's what I did to get them off. When you get up high enough with the winch the truck's weight becomes your leverage so you don't have to swing a heavy hammer. This works great for people with bad shoulders.
You’re supposed to put some kind of jack stand under the control arm before you hit it. Other wise the suspension will absorb most of the force from you strike. Also where is your purse
What’s the tool you used?
You should of probably lose the axle nut
Now the hard part getting the backing plate off the bearing
I made one of these just for my subaru rear hub replacement

I loosen the hub bolts a couple turns then give them a shot to the head. The hub comes out very easily
