I've had some that were hard to get out. But once you realize that it's a snap ring and just a constant pulling force is never going to get the shaft out and that you need to use a pry bar with a quick but hard force to pop the snap ring, you will get it.

It could be seized fast if it was sitting in water and rusted. But that is highly unlikely.
