so I've taken the circlip/shim/gears off and I'm now meant to carefully tap the axle out from the other side with a rubber mallet - how carefully exactly, cos I've hit it pretty hard and its not budging at all! have i missed something? does the clutch basket position make any difference? the info in scootering mag last year seemed to suggest that it did, but i cant see how

Use the heaviest hammer you can get ahold of,be careful but it'll take a fair belt.

I'll maybe rewrite it as "has anyone got a spare axle cos I've f**ked mine up" Have you. Using a steel hammer you probably end with a bent axle with smashed pin bores. Use a copper mallet or a LD brass drive and a 500g hammer. Ensure you hit the axle ABSOLUTELY straight (maybe fit a bolt of bore size through pin bore) - then it must come out. You can additionally use freezer spray to cool and shrink the axle |

Well, nothing to do with austrian - just a learning curve thing after a few ruined axles, cranks, etc ;D

like the ice idea, almost got some of that spray when i couldnt get the axle nut off, but never needed it in the end - i suspect that apart from possible clutch replacement, this is the first time that my ETS engine has ever been split or worked on and it shows everything that is meant to be easy/straightforward is not |

tried heat option again, followed by freeze spray option, intermingled with copious amounts of hitting with 1ib dead blow hammer i got from halfords - heavy plastic coated hammer, daren't use the big metal lump hammer yet, still rock solid, no movement at all this is really pissing me off, if it doesnt come out this weekend, i'll forget about renewing the cruciform  and just hope the gears select ok |

Get a block of wood.
Put wood over end of axle
Wallop wood with bloody big hammer.
Result should be undamaged axle removed from case.
