My Stanton axle is stuck in the dropouts. It feels as though it's not engaging as I turn it anti-clockwise and I really need the wheel out as the back wheel needs to be sent back. Any tips for getting it out (I don't mind getting rough with it as I think it's a goner) and any recommendations for what to replace it with?
Cheers

My top tip might not help you. Every time someone posts a stuck axle thread pop out to the bike and grease your axles. Happens about every 6 months. HTH 😛

Axle lightly greased here, it's the lever that appears to have broken.

Hacksaw/Dremel 2 grooves in the other end of the axle and use a chainring tool or similar to get it going.
