1. Might be a left handed thread.
2. Have you slackened all pinch bolts properly.
3. what have you tried knocking it out with ?

[bleddyn123]

ive undone the pinch bolts till they fall out ive hit it with a hammer and a solid bar and i dont think its a threaded bar heres a couple of pics

you need an allen key in side the disk side of the wheel.

EDIT see the pic above.

[hmmmnz]

you have to use a big allen key/driver and "unscrew" the axle from the fork leg then use a drift to get it all the rest of the way through

i think this is your model as it has no nut on the end

Jamie would still be flamed no matter what he said. The world is full of players and haters, he seems to attract the haters . . . Not worth worrying about.

i personally would hold a rachet handle to it and lightly tap it with a hammer.
have done that on my supercity's front wheel spindle.
just be careful not to hit it too hard as you risk damaging the thread.
