when i remove the front axles, I just loosen the 2x grub screws in the wheel square. and pull the axle through, As the e clips on the axles can be a pain to get out and they normaly bend or you end up with a screw driver stuck in your finger. The screwdriver works on the rest of the e clips on the car though.

The Elcon axles don't have e clips, They are bolted in instead which is much better.
