You luck it's not a Fox on that would set you back around R1500.

 

You should be able to use the lever from Nick G in your axle.

Step 1 - read the instructions. The thread on the skewer is designed to take up slack on the bearing, not moose the bolt in place - the cam on the lever locks the axle in place.

 

Step 2 - remove the lever using the 2.5mm allen key on the shaft

 

Step 3 - find a 20mm allen key and remove what's left of the axle

 

Step 4 - Head off to your LBS and order a new axle. Repeat step 1.

 

Rule 1 of bike maintenance - if you have to force it, you're probably doing it wrong. Stripping the detent on the axle takes far more force than you can comfortably apply with your hand.
