I have not tried a socket, but i don't understand what you're
suggesting? it's a round threaded cylinder, i'm not sure where i
could get a good enough grip on it to turn it??? Ahhh, i want to put
my new tire on!!!!!!- Todd


Sorry I didn't know it was threaded in. If it was a metal sleeve through
the drop outs like a Boxxer you could tap it out using a socket of the same
diameter as the axle. Depending on the ID of the axle you may be able to
find a bolt extractor to thread in and break the axle free. I'd soak the
threaded portion in penetrating oil first.

job.
