^ same thing happened to me when I bought mine at PNWR. Flew in to Seattle with no tool kit because TSA, so no pliers to remove stuck axle.
First hotel concierge I asked where we were staying didn’t know what pliers were, but luckily the night shift person got in touch with maintenance and they let me borrow a pair of theirs haha.
Definitely don’t regret purchasing El Mijo polycarb—been using it as my edc fixed axle since getting it; a great chill, fun throw for sure, and have gotten multiple cases of “walk the dog with it!” people. I’ve recommended it to curious throwers irl, and still recommend!

My only regret is that I got the dark grey zip line edition and didn’t get the light colored one. Now i can’t do a half swap.

I use a piece of paper towel to cushion pliers when removing stubborn axles.
