When I got my 208tt it was in real bad shape. It sat outside a long time. My frame is shot and since swapped it out.... Look at my picture of it in gallery. So I dought it will be worse but . So anyways my problem was the inner bearings where seized to the axle. There where set screws. I had to grind them off with a cutoff wheel on the angle grinder. If you take off the 3 flange bolts on the outer and the 2 inners you can get the axle to slide out some so you can get a better grind on it. You can then pop the inner flange off the bearing so you dont ruin it. Unless you are replacing them also. Once the inners are off and the sprocket tubes, the axle will pull out. Surprisingly my sprocket tubes weren't to bad but they did take some beating to get them off. I ended up putting the hubs on to beat the axle out which also pulled the sprocket tubes off.
The outer bearings are pressed on the axle and I have seen 2 ways the outer flanges are attached. One way was with a straight bore bearing and internal expanding rings and the other way is the insert bearing that come out when you spin the flange 90 degrees on the bearing style.
