So basically i was removing my left rear cv axle cause of a rear diff swap (different axles) it wont budge. So im just going to take the knuckle out as a whole. BUT the parking brake cable will not budge either. The parking Brake components are all out, and I removed the retaining clip on the cable as well. Nothing. Is there something else I have to do in order for it to come out? All my haynes book says is to pull and it will come out which obviously doesn't work.

On a side note. The abs sensor is also very stuck in the hub as well, so any advice on that would be appreciated.

They are probably rusted in there. Use some PB blaster and leave it sit for a while and then try again. You can try applying some heat with a torch, but I'd be careful especially around the ABS sensor.
