Cant get rear axle clamp to release from axle.
Outer piece will come off, but inner will not release form splines.

Been a lot written on this subject:
1.-use a puller than applies force between the axle and the wheel--Not the rear axle bearings. I use the clamp ring with threaded rod and a suitable piece of steel across the end of the axle.
2.-tap around the hub with a hammer to loosen rust.
3.-soak with a good penetrant for a few weeks.
4.-BE PATIENT-TIME IS YOUR FRIEND
Do a topic search, there's a ton of info on this subject.
Good luck,
Paul
