how to break rear axle loose

[yamahardr15]

I need to replace the rear bearings in the axle and I have some stuff loose but I can't get the hub that the disk break is on off to get to it. So I was wondering if there are any tricks or suggestions.
Thanks,
Grant

if you got al lthe clips and lock nuts off just put a 2x4 agenst the right side of the axle and beat it with a sludge hammer when i did mine i had it hanging from a chain on the roof and someone held a 2x4 agenst it and i just beat the crap out of it. ha
