Remove rear axle

Hi,
My free hub is slipping and to replace it I need to remove the rear axle. I'm content with the traditional cup and cone type but this axle is baffling me. I've removed the hex screws shown but still nothing budges. Am I missing something or are they just seized!!!

I have googled it but it's only the cup and cone type that comes up
Cheers for any help.

To me those end caps look like they should just pull off.
Alternatively you may have to unscrew the axle using different sized allen keys from opposite ends. Sometimes they are reverse threaded...
If you know what they are you can look for the manufacturer's technical info, and avoid buggering them up.
Plus if you need a new freehub you'll need to know which hub you have in order to buy the right one...
It's a shimano compatible free-hub now just need to find an 11mm hex key; I've got every size from 2mm to 12mm except the 11mm :evil:

This is what i guessed.
I did try to pull off but no joy. Looking at the shape of the internals it does look like a Hex Key.
11mm key in the post
