Mark:

This is the front right? If you have a fully threaded axle bolt, thread it all 
the way in and with the axle in a vice, use an impact gun and tighten until it 
pops off.

If this is the rear, there is a hidden cirlip that *must* be removed by 
cutting away the boot. If you don't you risk shearing off the inner bearing 
race - Don't ask me how I know this :-(
