meant to ask, i destroyed the glowfly in the process because the axel was stuck in one half and i pretty much tore up the axel with pliers, so i just got impatient and smacked it with a rubber mallet to break it. i was getting a new glowfly soon anyway so i didnā€™t care, but in the future, itā€™s there a method for getting it unstuck without rubber mallets getting involved?

It is unusual for one half to be so tight. Iā€™m usually able to extract an axle fairly painlessly with a vice grip.

I usually just grab the axle with groove lock pliers then wriggle the plastic half back and forth very slightly until it rocks itself out. Slow and steady is key.

I wrapped the axle with cardboard/craft paper to protect it, then applied vice grips sidewaysā€¦ then more parachord :saluting_face:

Get better dude! Thereā€™s some nasty stuff going around. Iā€™ve been munching vitamin c, zinc, and elderberry gummies. Itā€™s working wonders for my immune system. Highly recommend!
