hmmm...crap. yeah, i am talking about the axle, not the output shaft; i stand corrected...i knew that hitting it was not right and i considered that not to be an option...i tried to slide it, but no luck at all, so as a last resort, i started hitting it with a mallot...i basically measured how much it moved by the cotter pin...the cotter pin is no about 2mm off with the hub (meaning, its going into the hole at an angle). so hitting it is working, not well, but its working...it doesnt feel like the rust seized it (seeing as how it moved very little), but just great resistance. also, i assumed this was going to be like a bolt, using great force to break the thread, but once its broken, it should be easier...as i said above, its moving, but its just as hard from when i started...is it going to take this much force all the way through...

R240NA, is it really suppose to slide with minimal effort? do you think i should spray some kind of grease/lube/brake cleaner to break down the rust? man, my backs quivering...cant take much more of this abuse! thanks
