hey guys so I had a star nut in my fork but it broke so to take it out I put 3 axles in my fork and hammered it out through the top but then one axle fell out and the other 2 got wedged,one pressing against the other,side by side on the inside walls(?) of the fork and I cant get them out and one comes loose enough that it dangles down and presses on my wheel but I put a new star nut in because I thought they were stuck tight enough so they don't move so they have to somehow come out through the bottom...I feel like the biggest idiot ever but can anyone help me somehow?I have a vertx smx btw so the hole in the bottom is very small

if I had it you think I wouldn't use it?They forgot it so they are sending it on monday but I'm going away on the 30th and need my scooter ridable so I gotta use a regular star nut for now

First, drill out your starnut that you put in....then get a long bolt, thin enough to fit through the hole at the bottom of the smx and put it through till it hits the axles. Then hit it with a mallet until the axles come out?

that's what it looks like and they are so tight against each other that they don't budge

double post,dgaf, I got one axle out without removing the star nut and the other axle is floating around so I'm gonna wiggle the fork around til it falls out
