You would use the same process to resolve hat a_x " into " hat a_x' and hat a_y'
that you used to resolve
hat a " into "hat a_x and hat a_y.

Explanation:

I assume you mean to resolve hat a_x into a different reference system with axes x' and y'. You would need to know the angles between hat a_x and the axes x' and y'.

Then you would proceed with the steps that you used to break hat a " into components "hat a_x and hat a_y.

You would ignore what you know about hat a. Consider hat a_x as your starting point and follow the process for resolving a vector into components parallel to the axes of a reference system.

I hope this helps,
Steve
