It's seized because of rust and road grime. Soak it good with penetrating oil and try again. Once you get it off, coat the threads with NEVER SIEZE compound.
I used to have a plymouth volarie years ago with a 7.25 rearend.
It would clunk around a bit before it finally snapped. It's an unmistakable sound. I broke 3 of them before getting smart enough to upgrade to the 8.25 rearend.
