Whacking the axle does work, but there is a better way, with no mushrooming of the axle end, and no damage to internal parts. I needed to loosen a wheel on a 4430 and came up with this: Find a pipe just slightly larger than the axle diameter, and long enough to extend beyond the axle a few inches when placed against the tapered wedge in the hub. On the far end, cut the pipe away for 1/2 it's circumference, about one inch. On the near end, weld a plate at least 1/2 inch thick. Put the pipe over the axle, so the longest portion matches up with the wedge that you want to remove. Whack the end of the pipe a few good ones and it should knock the wedge loose. Have the wheel turned so the wedge you want to loosen is on top- then whe the pipe lays on the axle, it is in the right position and no one needs to hold it. One man job.
