I was wondering if anyone could help me with removing my rear wheel to be able to put on a trainer. I just assembled my bike and I was trying to remove the rear thru axel but I can’t get it to budge. When I hopped oReddit last night, I saw somebody else made a comment that it felt over tightened from the factory. I was wondering if anyone could help me. I’ve tried having more torque but nothing seems to help.

Are you turning it counter clockwise?
Is it a right or left hand thread screw? They tend to use left instead of right threads to ensure it doesn’t get loose during driving. You need to turn them to the right to loosen them. No offence, I also forget that sometimes and crank them tight even further befor realising.
Wrong side?
