Greetings,
A friend with a Mk III Roadster wrote me for suggestions on how to remove a stuck rear axle...
"The rear axle is giving me problems. I tried to remove the axle from the right side and all it did was start unthreading from the speedo drive side on the left and spreading the swingarm but not coming out. I think the axle is rust welded to the wheel. Ever heard of a fix to this one?"
My recommendation was blunt force trauma :lol: , but offered to pose the question here for a more dignified aproach. Any suggestions appreciated.
