Default 12 Bolt Axle Removal Question

Hi, I bought a used Moser 12 bolt, and I need to remove the axles so i can put the reluctor wheels on them since my car is a 4 channel. This rear end doesn't have C-Clips, how do I remove these axles. Thanks, Ryan

I took them 4 bolts out already, then i pulled on the axle, and it didn't wanna budge. Should I try and tap them with a hammer? Thanks, Ryan

tap it with a rubber mallet, mine takes a little coaxing to remove too. the bearings are in tight thats why its not sliding right out.

Alright, just got back in from the garage. I took the 4 nuts off from the studs behind the axle hub. The Axle Still doesn't wanna move, any more suggestions??? Thanks, Ryan

A lot of tapping may be required.
Are the axles machined for 4 channel? This is an option, they don't machine them unless a customer orders them for TCS. If not, then I'd just install the rear and not hook up the ABS/TCS. Bob

The axles look like they are machined. If they aren't, It's not a big deal because my dad's best friend is a machinist. Thanks Again Bob
