So I have the exact same problem as in [this post](https://reddit.com/r/MTB/comments/jwgs6j/help_with_thru_axle_stuck_in_fork/). I can only unthread the axle a couple of turns before the resistance ramps up exponentially and the other side of the fork moves outwards. Tried everything including spraying all the crevices on both sides with WD-40 at first, then PB Blaster penetrating catalyst, zip tying the two sides of the fork together, and tapping both ends of the fork where the axle goes through with the handle of a screwdriver. Nothing seems to help. I do notice the ends of the hub spin along with the axle when I try to turn it but [holding them down](https://youtu.be/fpGCxP98bs8?t=82) just makes it impossible to turn. This along with [trying to pry out the end](https://youtu.be/n8BccgrV6Mw?t=164) just ended up scratching the hub and the bottom of the fork, and the axle is no less stuck. Been at it for a week now with zero progress.
Is there anything else I can do to get the axle out in one piece? I can confirm it hasn’t snapped or anything since I can see both ends turn when trying to unthread it.
