Before I make things worse. Any clues how best to solve this.
The QR in my front wheel (DT Swiss Spline R23) is bent and wont come out. I think it's bent on the non skewer side, but could be both sides. I have access to @dbr 's extensive array of cutting and grinding gear but though it could be easier to remove the whole axle then knock it out?
The skewer is a goner so happy to destroy it in the process, but ideally not the wheel. I've taken the end cap off on one side and as far as it can go on the other.
Any suggestions welcome -
