Does anybody Know how to remove the axle in one? The instructions on the site pretty much say to put it in a vice and shake it till it comes out, I'm skeptical. I need to put a new freewheel on it, replacing the 16 with a 14.
edit: it seems i was looking at the wrong instructions or something, i found a pdf file that looks better -

I don't know what I was looking at that told me to put it in a vice. The pdf is here. Right click and save as or read it in your browser. There is only one little blurb I see about using a vice. -

taking a freewheel off requires a freewheel removal tool. the axle does not need to be removed. if you cannot find out how to take off your freewheel you may have installed it backwards. take it to your LBS, they should charge you no more than $5 to take it off.
good luck. -

First thing, this is not a normal hub, it is offset so you can run single or fixed with vertical dropouts. Therefore, its not that easy to remove the freewheel.
Second thing, if you read, I already found instructions.
Edit: Sorry if I sound like an asshole, I just don't like it when people don't read thoroughly. -

i know what an eno hub is. i built a bike with one once. the fact that it is offset doesnt change the fact that the freewheel is removed by using that specific tool. thats like saying a 10 speed shimano cassette uses a different tool than a 7 speed shimano cassette simply because its 10 speed. i saw that you posted that pdf. it goes over how to remove an axle in the event you need to service the bearings or overhaul it.
heres a picture of what you need to do.

Ive already tried, I built the wheel. I know how to remove a freewheel.
The problem is, the tool doesn't fit, hence the reason I need to remove the axle. -

I hope I didn't give you a bad vibe. You were half way right though, I looked into it and I don't need to remove the axle, I just need this:
