Put a nut on the axle. Put on a lock washer. Put on another nut. Tight the two together.
Heat the truck with a blue flame torch. Don't try and melt it but get the aluminum HOT. This will melt the loc-tite. Be careful not to heat the powder coat too much. It's a very delicate balance between enough and too much.
Take a box wrench and turn the INNER nut. That will vice up against the outer nut and the axle will turn instead of the nuts. Once the axle is loose, screw it out.
Get a replacement from Chris, dabble on some Loc-tite and screw in the axle.
