    If something is to be damaged, Id rather buy just one thing - either axles or hubs

    Personally I would replace the hubs anyhow since that's also the bearing and has good now's what for miles

    Also when heating it up the trick is to apply the heat to the hub only so that it only expands they are dissimilar metals like our motors the block and head expanded at different rates if you heat the axle it may expand and lock itself in even thighter.

    I disagree completely. The key is breaking the bond. If you heat the axle and let it cool the expansion will break the rust. If you heat the hub, you risk damaging the bearing or the lubricant inside of it.

    Both axles are out, but I need two axles and a hub. If someone is going to the yard I will appreciate it if you looked for AWD 2g and see what it has.

    Dead blow works every time.. Lube those suckers up with grease when you put it back together it keeps the moisture out and shouldn't happen again..
