wow, i have never heard of the front axle snapping like it did on you redneck250es. i have had them come out very hard + chewed up the end before.
well anyway,,, if i had that problem to deal with i reckon i would drill it untill it was just to the threads and see if i could use a punch to beat it towards the drilled out center.
and still it might take a tap to clean up the threads in the fork. man that stinks !
i remember howdy saying he had a axle for you ,,, ask him if he has a fork for your trike as well ,,, that might be the final solution after you get done doing all the removal work anyway.

well best of luck to you red,,, john

is there anypart of axle still sticking out? you can weld a bolt onto it and take the imapact and tighten the axle(obviously loosening didnt work) that will make it move alittle then hit it in reverse and the axle should come out, but you may need to keep welding that bolt back on...
