axel stuck

[acrtheone]

I am replacing my bearings in my rear bearing carrier and i can't get my axel out.
I have removed everything that i need to: Axel locknut, wheel hub, and brake assembly. It just won't go out easily, I am using a socket on the end of the axel so i don't destroy the threads. I am hitting it but it won't budge,
Does anyone have any tips on how to remove it? How have you done it in the past?

Never mind i was able to get it out. It just took a lot of pb blaster, that stuff works wonders!

lol.....glad you got it out. I was in the same boat when I first took mine out. Was scared to hit it very hard, but realized that it takes a good whack to get it out. :D

Yeah the only thing i could think about when i was banging on it was destroying the threads, but it all worked out in the end,

Now i just have to get the bearings out of the carrier.
