has anyone had an extraordinary amount of trouble removing an axle from the hub assembly? I have the axle nut removed but cant get the shaft to release where the splines are seized together. so far I've mushroomed the end of the axle with a sledge hammer, let it soak in penetrating oil for days, heated it up with a torch, broken a three jaw puller trying to press it out, and taken it to a transmission shop, a dealership, and a garage that works on semi's and they all told me the either couldn't fit it in their press, or that it would ruin the knuckle, or just that they couldn't help. I seem to remember the other one coming out pretty easily, so I don't know what the deal is, but anyone got any other idea's before I have to just buy a new everything?
