Problems removing front wheel/axel

I just bought a F2.. Bike is all dark except for the wheels which are white. I wanted to take the wheels off and get them painted black to match the bike. Well I can't get the front axel bolt off. I pulled the clamp bolts... brakes. I have put some serious force onto the bolt.. and it won't budge.. but rather the bolt head is deforming. I have used some penatrayting catalyst... and no luck.. The bike has relatively new tires so it had to of been removed sometime. They obviously did not torque it.. i dunno..

I am unclear as to exactly which bot you are having trouble with? the axle nut, the brake caliper bolt? Its possible that someone over torqued it, and you need a good impact to break it loose

the 22mm bolt/nut on the right side. It was Def overtorqued... I guess I'll have to borrow a gun.

If you're talking about the bolt that goes into the end of the axel to hold it on there make sure that the axel isn't spinning while you're trying to loosen the bolt. It took this idiot about 15minutes before realizing that was what was happening when I tried removing the rear tire for the first time. Make sure you're turning it the correct way too. Mike

Its very annoying.. I work on gas/steam turbines the size of a house with 50 pound nuts. And... I cant undue a 22mm nut on a motorcycle.
