I had one similar to the one he is describing. I guess if you don't lube
the axle to tire shaft, it corrodes and is a bitch to remove. I tried
the hammer to the tire bit and the whole shaft came out of the drive
box. Took it to a local dealer/repair shop and he used a puller to
remove the wheels. He also rebuilt the drive box for me too--at more
than the mower was probably worth, I might add. :( Used it up till
last year when the engine finally shelled.
