Hi All,
My lovely son tried to help change my tyres the other day and he stripped the hex head on the front axle screw (holds the wheel on).
Baring a complete new corner, any suggestions how to get it off?

Use a Dremel with a cutting disc to put a slot down the screw, then use a standard screwdriver

So, the screw is damaged?
The screwdriver is slipping?
Maybe You can dremel a little slot and turn it out with a flat screwdriver.
I replaced the screw with a bigger one.
