So noob time here.

My forks are RS sektor tk 140mm solo air, with 15mm thru axle...

I followed the instructions and it just will not budge an inch, in fact the only thing that does screw out is the QR lever which attaches to the axle!

Am I missing something here??!

    Shouldn't need pliers . Google maxel removal. They are not that robust so good idea to be sure you are using correct method.

    Yeah after googling it I knew how to remove it. It was stuck though. Loads of people have had a problem with them becoming stuck. will put a little grease on it for next time so it doesnt happen again 8)
