Trying to remove a thru axle with very rounded off hex hole. Looks like someone had previously hammered a torx in and bodged it, then over tightened again as that was rounded off too. Couldn't be arsed to do that, so bought a cheap Easyout tool. Took literally four seconds to get it out, incredible.
However, the tool is now properly stuck in the axle. So, how do I get this out? Axle slips in pliers and mole grips, don't have a vice handy...
