My new 3rd member arrived today, one of the axles came out really easy, the other, not so much. What are some tricks and tips to get it out?

Pickup some new axle housing seals while you're down there....

"daveSanborn" said:Rickster,
You should have two seals per side. The inner seal is "tapped into" the axle housing. The outer seal is a paper gasket used between the axle retaining plate and the axle housings' flange.
Big bearing axles are set up the same way as smaller bearing axles, except the bearings are bigger.
