Larry,
Suggest you get a wooden dowell smaller in dia than the axle
spline and stick it in the hole and measure the length to the outer flange.
compare this with the length of your axle. This may tell you something.
A bur on the splines may be stopping your axle if the measurment indicates
there is more space available. If the length measured on the stick is the
same as the length measured on the axle, then it is dissasembly time.
