Disassemble rear axle

[Mux213]

Hey Guys,

I'm taking my spare axle appart so here are some pictures

This is after I took the brakes off:


Unscrewing the bolts that hold the brake guards on and hold the half-axle in place:


Adding a tire so we can more easily apply some force to get the axle out:


Axle is out:


And thats where I am at now:


So I got a couple of questions. First off, I can't get the other axle to come off, it's slightly out but the last bit just wont budge. Any tips here?

Next up I want to take the brake guards off the half axle so I can clean them up. Do I just slide off the bearing? Or do I need to do something else?

Also what should I replace before putting it all back together again? I'm gonne remove the LSD once I get the other half-axle out so keep that in mind aswell
