I got my first gravel bike around October last year and decided to put some new tires on it and I found the quick release through axle for the front wheel won’t come out. For the rear axle I just turn the quick release lever counter clockwise and it unscrews but for the front wheel the lever just unscrews itself and comes off.
Any advice?
Would be willing to replace the axle if there’s a way to easily get it off by breaking it too.
Bike is a Poseidon redwood.

Is there a set screw on the bottom of the fork end?
Maybe it has seized a little. Might put some WD-40 on the side that threads into the fork and take some vice grips on the non-threaded part of the skewer and see if you can get some purchase on it without mangling it.
Looks like your through axle is broken in some way since the lever is not meant to come off. Maybe the lbs team is needed.
