I was tightening up my centerlock lockring and the outer ring snapped off leaving the threads in the hub.

How do I get them out? I can't get the end cap out as it fouls the lockring. I tried to make a notch and use a drift to try hammer it round, but it does not move and the metal is so soft it just takes a chunk out.

So now wheel less on my mtb so no riding

Sacrifice the end cap?
No thread lock on a lock ring so hopefully with the end cap off and axle out you can grip from inside ring

Put another notch opposite the first notch and then use a pin spanner to turn it. Get the notches as deep as you can without going into the hub, Dremel with a carbide burr useful for is.
