Default Axle will not come out of hub for NOTHING!!!!

Alright guys I posted in the eg forum a while back and people suggested that I place a piece of wood over the part of the axle that sticks out and hit the piece of wood. Tried that, no luck... I hit it with a mallot for a long time, no luck.... And then I just smashed the **** out of it with a normal metal hammer and it didn't budge. I pretty much screwed the tip of the axle so I can't get the spindle nut on it anymore, so I'm gona have to replace the axle anyway.... I've sprayed wd40, PB blaster and nothing seems to break it loose. Oh yeah I also tried to pry with a screw driver

Anyone have any really good ideas?

Btw, both of them are stuck like this.

I would suggest a prybar or crowbar. I'm going to be changing my axles this week, and am definately getting a prybar

Did you pickup those weird washers you replace at the tip of the axle? If so where did u get them?

the little clip? are you talking about the circle thing that supposed to lock the axle in place? No, I haven't.

This sucks...

Try an air hammer with a semi-pointy attachment in the middle hole of the axle. This is what I use and it works pretty damn good. If it is rusted, it may be near impossible to get it out. Just stick with it and use alot of wd-40 and penatrating oil. Hope this helps.

If you dont have an air compressor, then ????????

If you've already ruined the end of the axle, I would pound some more (failing the air hammer idea, that is). Don't use a carpentry hammer, get a 16+ oz. hammer and hit it like you mean it. I've had to really whack them to get them loose before.

Ah it worked! I just thought what the hell its useless anyway so i smashed the **** out of it and it started coming out.... And the weird thing was after I got that one out the driver side came out with ease.... Wierd.. >Maybe cuz i let the wd40 and pb fluid sit in there for a long time.
