Yeah, I've not seen it before either. The "weld bead" you're probably seeing is some grime that has been since cleaned off. I'm going to go ahead and get the axle out and see about getting then separated. Its just so strange how the axle can spin in there with no problems but be stuck in there at the same time. Talking to John at RandP 4WD, he seems to think possibly the bushing/bearing might have a groove of some sort thats catching but doesn't think it will be a big deal to get it appart.
