A revisionist thought. If the axle is truly seized, it is likely to be seized on the the sleeve/carrier assembly for the brake caliper as well as the opposing bearing carrier tube. It may be best to leave it unloosened until the axle has broken free. Sorry for the poor thinking on my feet today. I should get out the parts book to refine my terminology.
