Please make changes to the following inventory:
 
Set No: 8568  Name: Pohatu Nuva
* 
8568-1 (Inv) Pohatu Nuva
44 Parts, 2002
Sets: BIONICLE: Toa Nuva

* Delete 1 Part 4519 Black Technic, Axle 3L (Extra)
* Change {4 to 5} Part Black 4519 Technic, Axle 3L

Comments from Submitter:
Per the packaging, this set contains 44 pieces, and per the inventory from LEGO, the set contains 5 of these axles. Thus, this axle is not a spare piece.

However, I don't know why it is included. It is not used in the main model, nor in the combiner -- Across the three sets (8566, 8568, 8572) there are a total of 10 axles, but the combiner only uses 7.

Actually no, my bad. All five axles are used in the configuration where the gear
function is locked, because unlike the other Toa Nuva, the limb that is not attached
to the mechanism still uses an axle.
