How Do You Remove a Front Wheel Axle on a Bike?

Removing a front wheel axle on a bike is a simple process that requires a few basic tools.

Steps to Remove a Front Wheel Axle:

1. Locate the Quick-Release Lever: Most front wheels use a quick-release lever located on the axle near the fork.
2. Open the Lever: Push the lever outward and rotate it to loosen the axle.
3. Pull the Wheel: Once the axle is loose, gently pull the wheel forward until it comes off the fork.

Important Notes:

• If your bike doesn't have a quick-release lever, you may need a 15mm wrench to loosen the axle nut.
• Always ensure the quick-release lever is closed and secure when riding to prevent the wheel from coming off.
• Be careful not to overtighten the axle nut when re-installing the wheel.
