thank you! my first intuition isn't to beat with a hammer. what's some good stuff to clean off the rear wheel?
Simple green is good for just about any crud on your bike. I like the concentrated stuff. Let soak a bit then attack with a stiff brush.

That axle should just slide out, but sometimes they get stuck. Try tapping on it, put the axle nut back on backwards so the castle faces into the wheel, and tap on that. This way you do not damage the threads. If it fights all the way out, you may want to make sure it is not bent. Roll it on a flat surface and check for wobble, like people do with a pool cue on a billiard table.

awesome. and the part that attaches to the brake caliper, that's "supposed" to slide off as well? it's not. axle spins great, but doesnt have lateral movement
