2002 LR1 fork, stratos 20mm standard axle. Same as S7 dropouts.

1. I loosened/removed the dropout bolts
2. unthreaded the 1" axle bolt

The rest of the axel is so tight, it hardly budges?

How do people get it out? wooden dowel and mallet??????? thanks.

then I will ask how do i tighten the hadley hub

With the bolt still threaded in the axle smack it with your hand, the axle should start to slide out unscrew the bolt a little more them smack again with your hand until your just about out of threads. Remove the bolt, get a rag and then grab it with your hand and the axle should come out with a little tugging.
