I am trying to remove the axle shaft to replace the bearings on my 97 wolverine. I do not see a lock nut or set screw that holds it in. Am I missing something or do I just need to beat it out with a BFH? If so does it have to go a certain direction? Thanks in advance.

 

get a block of wood and put it on the end of the axle and beat it through, its proly rusted in there a bit.

 

I got it out yesterday. I just was reluctant on beating on it with out know if the was a set screw or something else.
