One side of mine came right out, took about 10 minutes, the other side was four hours with big hammers, torch, punches, drills, and busted knuckles.
If you can get a good swing with out hitting your fenders, you have a fighting chance! Drill a small hole through the lock pins before you loose the center of them, sometimes thats all they need to come out. When that doesn't work, keep drilling bigger and bigger, but don't drill the axle. Joe
