    Theres 2 small allen key bolts on the left leg (looking at it from the front) undo them, then the main nut on the fork leg with the caliper an then smack the end of the spindle with. Rubber hammer HARD! An itll come out :)
    Just don tpull the brake lever or youll have to jam the pads apart

    IF youre gunna smack the end with a hammer, leave the nut on but loosen it a few turns so theres a gap between the nut and ofrk. This will stop the threads deforming when you hit it....simply wind the nut off when the axles loose
