I was up to my elbow in grease yesterday as I tried to take apart my front axle flange of my B4 pw. I have one %$#& problem though. How do you get the front axle flange apart I know there are two small metal dowels that align the two halves. Either they are rusted or frozen in place. I tried a little heat- no luck I'm afaid to pound on them too hard. Should I drill them out as a last resort. BTW the bronze inner bushing fell right out when I removed the live axle. It was cracked and know I knw why my lcoking hubs and hub was filled with gear oil. Please, any help- greatly appreciated.
