RE: Hybrids Going In and Porsche Vs S4 Hybrid-ed
the axle is just two flanges that bolt together, once all the bolts are out they should seperate with little or no effort, chances are you have a little corroision holding you back, if need be try a get a hammer and chisel in there and try very gently to seperate them with that. and the little shield is just held on with bolts

If I remember, I took the heatshields off the turbos and that might free up a little room, the axle shields came off pretty easy for me. But I definately had it up in the air on the lift. They should just swing out pretty easy though, try swinging the wheel side to side to get a little more clearance and the axle should fall down out of the way and give you more access to the shield.
