You shouldn't have to... but I bet that axle is stuck in there pretty good (its quite old). You can try spraying the s*** out if it with PB, and knocking it with a hammer... but you might need to invest in a puller to get it off. DO NOT USE HEAT. Using heat could/will destroy your wheel bearing.

Yeah...one of mine just fell apart when I removed the bolts and the other was seized up. I had to get it pressed apart.
