First, if it is a taper to the hub, it is not original. Original hubs
and axles are splined. That is irrelevant for the problem at hand.
Usual method to pull a TC axle is to remove the wheel, undo the nuts
holding the hub to the bearing carrier, replace the knockoff then
hammer on the back side of the knockoff ears to remove the axle.
