2004 Chopper rear axle removal

OK 10,000 miles on the rear tire and time for a new one. Have it on the lift, little axle covers/plates are off and the stinkin' little allen head bolts. The bolt on the brake/rotor side is out. Now why won't the axle slide out-pulley side ?I've done axle removal before and had no problems. Am I missing something?
Thanks,

There is two allens on each side. One is a plug and the other is the adjuster. Check again for another set.

Hi Guys,

Yea I figuerd out there were 2 allens- 1adjuster and 1 locking. After looking at it I could see know there were no other things holding this. I got the axle out with the use of Mr. Brass drift, the axle was rusted to the brake side bearing. I will be putting a new set of bearings, Timken/Fafnir's. I measured the axle it comes out 1"/25mm.

Thanks,
Monte Motorcycle
