Anyone else had this problem when replacing the passenger side axle axle?
The three bolts at the mounting bracket have slid out just fine, but for the life of me I can't get the axle to slide out. I suspect it's mainly rust build-up on that mounting plate. Any techniques that have worked for you guys?

Bang the hell out of it with a hammer to try to break the corrosion. Or you can unbolt the whole bracket from the engine and try to seperate them on a work bench.

Holy mother of God that was by far the worst thing I've had to do on my Max so far - and I've done exhaust work, 3 days spent on the air conditioner....the power steering belt job was an absolute joy compared to this. I spent six hours chipping at the corrosion with a hammer and screwdriver before it came free.
