Dear Mr. Audenaerde, I own an H-36 and maintain another owned by a friend. I rebuilt the brakes and replaced tires on both this year. I don't have a specific response to the evidently seized axle, but I do have a tool that may have been fabricated by a previous owner for driving or pressing out the axle. I'll try to get a photo to you later today. It was turned from an aluminum rod and has a shoulder so it seats within the inner diameter of the axle. You may find that loosening the four brake attachment bolts a bit may relieve some binding on the axle.
None of the four axles I dealt with were seized. On my aircraft, I did do a modification on the inner faces of the wheel fairing, replacing the four metric bolts with 1/4 inch AN countersunk machine screws to preclude interference with the locknut and lock washer. I'll add a photo of that. The bearing number is Timken 08231, and the axle OD I measured was 1.180 inches/29.97 mm. I did find corrosion on the inner bore of the axles on my aircraft, which I polished out and treated with primer and Boshield at reassembly.
