While I was doing my front end rebuild, I heeded the advice of 'tapping' the axle shaft inward to clear it of the knuckle (to avoid pulling it out when angling the knuckle outward) - but despite some (very) strenuous 'tapping' with the BFH on the axle nut (aligned w/ the end of the axle shaft) - I could not move it inward on either the driver or passenger side.
I got the work done, seemingly w/o incident (no detected issues with the axles when I drove it today). However, I want to eventually go back in, both for a leaking seal on the inner CV on the passenger side, and to perform maintenance on the disconnect module.
AFAIK, my hubs are OK (no movement / play, or noise). They're pretty well corroded in place (I didn't attempt to loosen or remove them - but I will, if that's necessary to free the outer axle shafts).
