         If you can transport the axle,I would transport it to a good machine shop .They will have drill presses and ways to block this thing to where it won' t move while it is being worked on,which is of utmost importance .These fellows are miracle workers

If the threads are stuck so tight that the head of the bolt wrung off, I have never had any success with an e-z out.

I have had success with welding onto the stub sticking out to get it as hot as possible (and give the vice grips something to grip) - then turn it with the vice grips until it sticks again. Weld on it some more & repeat . . . .

A snug fitting washer helps keep the weld off the tapped part . . .

Good luck !
