What carrier do you have in there, stock/aftermarket? Did the axle & axle bearings spin freely when you took the axle out? Just wondering if the axle bearings are bad & got the carrier hot enough to melt the PC inside the carrier housing?

Lonestar twin row, which was all new with only 5 hours ride time on it. No color on the axle or bearing races indicating it got hot, and they all still spin freely, and axle came right out by hand.

Maybe something to dissolve the powder coating. I would take it out of the frame before getting medieval on that bitch.

You wouldn't be worried about the side force from whacking it with a bfh? I'm a little nervous to go whacking away, afraid the side force may damage the bushings, or crack a weld on the frame.

I would not use a bfh. I would use a 3lb soft dead blow hammer. Actually I have access to a press so I would remove the swinger and press it out.

aircraft stripper will do it. other than a paint stripper nothing that i have ever found will break down powder.

I would remove the swinger and press it out as well. Will all the effort you have already spent on this you would have already been done.
