i think in order to offer suggestions, we're going to need more information.
and while i do urge you to be cautious and get good information on what to do before filing anything, i'd disgree with the poster who fearmongeringly warned that you could irreparable damage a hub. axles are completely replacable. you're not doing anything to the bearings or hub body.
but yes, don't jump into anything.
Call me a fear monger if you will, but something tells me that if the OP is having such troubles getting a wheel into a trackend he's not going to be swapping axles on his own anytime in the near future.
Fuked axle = lot's of downtime for the OP.
