hey guys, ok so i have a new axle on order cuz i bent my stocker. it is coming in tomorrow and i have been trying to get the thing off tonight. i have done this before so i know what i am doing. i just need a suggestion because i am stuck. after removing the axle nut and sliding the threads off the splines the brake hub is supposed to just slide off. the thing is, where the axle bent, it is putting pressure on the splines there, and the brake hub is kinda seized onto the axle. i have tried everything i can think of the pry the thing off, but i cant. i am reluctant to use heat because it is so near to the swingarm and bearings. any suggestions for getting the damn thing off? i am at the end of my rope here. thanks, kurt.

ya you could cut the axle off as close as you can, or i would get a long pipe and put it over the end of the axle and try to bend it back enough to get the brake hub off, and if ur concerned about heat close to the carrier get a sawz all...
