[QUOTE="grizzly, post: 101865, member: 1151"] as a mechanic, i can say it's a rare thing for the outer bearing to be seized like that. your best bet will probably be heating it with a torch and then knocking it off. a slide hammer with a hook will give you the best leverage/angle. then it will be a matter of inspecting the spindle to see if it survived the heating and the wear from the previous owner's neglect. a new axle is not that expensive, i've found them from local trailer manufacturers for about 100 bucks, complete with bearings and leaf springs and everything in between. just need your old wheels. good luck and don't be afraid to ask any trailer place around for a new axle, you'd be suprised at the low price.
