If in doubt give it a clout, the bigger the doubt the bigger the clout.you need a hammer. belt the allen key back in.
Or grab a torx key that's a tiny bit bigger and bash that in. the pointy edges will cut in and give you something to turn off. This will fuck it totally though, so expect to buy a new maxle.
Edit: just to be clear, you need to whack the torx bit in too.
hammers ftw
If you do take before and after picturesAnd then, cold chisel and hammer. Then if all hope is lost...
Note: please don't try and gas your axle out
This.Or grab a torx key that's a tiny bit bigger and bash that in. the pointy edges will cut in and give you something to turn off.
Give the allen a go first though, you might get it with that. If torx fails its time to bust out the drill.Ok, torx it is! Will give it a try once the replacement arrives early next week.
There's a recent Seth's Bike Hacks video that details how to do exactly this.Managed to round the head on my Maxle by assuming my hex key was inserted far enough, when it wasn't.
Question is; How the fck do i get this out now?

Oh sweet, will take a look. Thanks!!There's a recent Seth's Bike Hacks video that details how to do exactly this.
Damn, I broke my finger the same way doing a sharp turn around a hole at stupid slow speed. Hope you heal up soon.Turns out my slow speed crash at Welby yesterday has left me with a broken thumb. Unbelievable
Bugger, didn't you do the helmet thing once before?Mine's a double!
First off, I was about to start today's ride with The Boy at Lysty, when I realized my helmet and gloves weren't in the boot like they're supposed to be. I must have left them in the car park after my last ride at Eumeralla. Luckily, I had my full-face with me. The Boy kindly offered to wear that, then after I while we swapped, because I fucked up, I should pay the penalty.
Then, near the bottom of Dog Pound, without any warning my dropper remote decided to literally fly off the handle, and before I could catch it, it ended up in the front wheel, pulling the hose out of the external frame mounts and rendering the post useless (well, it's a Reverb, so even more useless than usual). Apparently checking bolts is a thing you should do every now and then?
The Boy very much enjoyed the remainder of his ride, while I slowly made my way back to the car park.
