Rear Axle Removal - Haynes Manual is Wrong

I should have posted this earlier (before the diff rebuild section), but just so you know, the Haynes manual is wrong about which way to remove the rear axle. (I found out the hard way). You should be tapping on the brake side (RH side) and the axle will come out toward the LH side of the bike. I wonder how many people have bashed the crap out of their axles (and ruined the threads in the process), trying to take the axle out the wrong way.
