[Closed] possibly stoopid question - thru-axle removal

I have a new Enduro SL with the E1150 fork, it has a 25mm through axle. I want to take the wheel off to swap a tire, but how the £$%#@ hell do I remove it??

I've undone the single bolt on either side (actually taken them out now!), I assumed I'd just push the axle through? But it doesn't seem to want to do this? Am I doing it right or what, I've tried google and it hasn't turned up an answer, neither has the Specialized site (can't even find a blingin manual for the fork!)

Please help, appreciated 🙂

Does it have pinch bolts too?

it's cool, I just figured it out... I need to unscrew the axle (I didn't realise it screwed in as well as being held in by the pinch bolts... 😳 )

cheers for your reply l_ache 🙂

it'll be a bugger to fix a flat out on the trail with this system I have to say 🙂
