Just had to remove one with a rubber mallet, which is fine when you have the tools with you but less so if you are in the middle of nowhere.

Can it be replaced with a more conventional axle?

No, there wont be anything for a conventional axle to screw into.

With the bolt thru that came with my exotic fork , the threaded end that the bolt thru will screw into is not part of the fork but a completely separate part https://www.carboncycles.cc/?s=0&c=43&p=1760&tb=001

Not sure if you can buy them on their own

I was locking some years ago, in the end I got rid of the forks because I believe that axle was responsible for elongating the hole in the locking side. It didn't matter how I tightened it there would be a slight looseness feel to the wheel.

I did find this, couldn't find anything local.

I bought some OEM REVS in the end.
