I had the same problem with the cabin/front chassis of the 8479
Barcode Truck as well: It was locked by some axles which were hard to
take out.
On a similar note, try to insert grey 1/2 pins into the holes in the
technic piston engine motor block. With one pin on each side, they
are quite hard to take out.
I also had to destroy two technic bushings when disassembling the 5571
Black Cat Truck: I couldn't get them off the end of the technic ski
poles on each side of the engine.
