Removing an axle.

[lacelle@frontiernet.net (Erik LaCelle)]

Also, vice grips (clean head of bolt thoroughly so there is no
grease/oil on it).

Also, drill.  Be careful not to drill the flange.  You just want to take
the head off the bolt, not go into the threaded area.

Some of the axle kits come with new hardware -- shouldn't be too much of
a problem.
