If you are having problems pulling the axle out, there is a trick to try. Pull the inner joint outward so it is tight. Turn it 180 degrees around and then push it and pull it out real quick. The little C-clip that goes in there is only 2/3rds as round as the splines. Someitmes when it is facing down, it will lock the axle in there. When you pull it tight and turn it, you don't allow the clip to spin in there. Then when you release it, it drops down a little and the axle will pop out when you pull or pry on it.

It may take a few tries, but it will work.
