Ok, I cut it off. I see now the part with the threaded holes is one unit with the bearing. And I had to cut the retaining bracket to get it off. Im going to take the axle somewhere to see if I can get the rest pressed or taken off professionally, lol. If I get the axle clean and its straight my next step is to find replacement bearings and that bracket. Ill have to replace the braking system so maybe just go with hydraulic and get a disc along with the new axle sprocket? Im still working it out.Well, I guess you "nailed it" when you named this thread
I'd first evaluate the rear axle ta see if it's even worth trying to save (bent, beat up, keyway damaged etc.)
...if it's too "far gone" ya can usually get a brand new one for under $50.00
If your gonna try-n-save it, you'll probably have to "split" them bearing races (& anything else that's stuck & no longer usable) ta get 'em off)
...just use a cut off tool (or hack saw if possible) to cut thru one side (without damaging the axle underneath) & then, gently pry it off
