Easiest way to get a axle out
 
Ok so I need some tips/tricks/tom cruise devil magic to help me get this axle out of these 5 lug hubs I have. I've tried every trick i can think of (wd40, small fire, axle puller, hammer, slide hammer) and its still barely budged. So help me out here peoples.

I just used a really good mallet and solid hits. Leaving the nut on to prevent damage. More heat should work though. Or you can just stop being a sissy and yank it out..its splined for crying out loud :-)
