Back axle on the ASV has this simple design with a nut on either side so you can just take the nut loose and pull the hub off.
But for some stupid reason, on the front, it's a through shaft with a flange on the inside, so you have to pull the whole axle through the frame to get the inside hub off.
I'm sure it saves $3.46 and works great when it's new, but after 12 years of living in dirt and mud, it all becomes one piece.
That was waaaay too much work. Back was apart in 30 seconds. Front took 2hrs per side.
