I got the leaky axle seal out on the pulley side axel. (There was no washer behind the axle seal). The wedge trick worked for freeing the pulley sideaxle just fine but the other axle I could not get loose. I have tried running a bar in through the axle housing where the pulley axle normally sits and tried beating on the end of the shaft of the flywheel axle. But it wont budge. I also couldn't get the wedge to move on the wheel so I took the tire off and was going to use a cherry picker to pull the whole assembly out. I have tried a scissor car jack in the inside of the axle housing and tried pushing on the end of the axle shaft to force it out from the inside, but was afraid I would put too much pressure on the axle housing and crack it since it is only cast. I did put a lot of force with the jack and it wouldn't budge the axle. Anyone have any thoughts. Even though the seal on this side was not leaking, I am this far and with my luck if I don't replace it, it would leak as soon as I put everything back together and fill it up with oil.
