Hi, my rear wheel is creaking and clicking when riding. I tried to have it fixed in Decathlon but they weren't very helpful. Ordered a new, better and easier to maintain wheelset, but in the meantime I would still like to ride my bike (and have this wheel fixed for potential future selling). However when I was disassembling the wheel I hit a roadblock.
As you can see on the images, I have no idea how to remove the screw/axle and it seems to be blocking me from pulling the freehub off. The inside of the axle is smooth so there's no way for me to somehow hold it in place (even so, it's rotating smoothly in both ways anyways). So I am thinking the bearings are what is stopping me, but there's also no way for me to pull those off. Does anyone of you have any experience with this type of cheap wheelset?
Thanks in advance.

Looks like you need to get a new rim cuz it’s looks like a job that can’t be handled.lol
Hammer time. As easy as that. Use a mallet, a bolt and go for it, but not too hard.
