I was wondering why you were messing with the axle anyway, there was no need to touch it. Now that you've beat on it it's also toast, so keep pounding. I popped a pair out yesterday with little effort, but I have had some that require ungodly force to move. Those always get replaced anyway because even the slightest hit will crown the threads. You've learned a major lesson I hope.
And I got a pair of good axles if you need one.

i thought that the knuckle/spindle had to be pressed into the lca. if i knew i wouldnt have touched all the things i messed with...i would have just replaced the lower and have been on my damn merry way...damn it.
