A old trick taught to me many yrs ago by a very talented old timer who just passed on last Feb was to fasten a choker out of heavy wire + pull the stub or 1/2 shaft thru the tube but 1st use a magnet taped to a wooden dowel to attempt removal of any twisted pieces.I also will pressure wash the tube with kerosene + compressed air to get the heavy sludge or grease out of the axle splines or sidegear + it will come out easier.Cant pound or push it out from other side as there is a spider pin in middle.I have a new telescoping Snap On magnet with incredible pulling power + a metal cover that goes around the magnet + prevents it from sticking on the sides in a confined area.Have removed many things in tubes or tight areas many times using that method
