rear axle hex stuck on gravel bike?
I'm having a problem to remove the rear wheel on my bike. I am thinking it was maybe tightened too hard from the manufacturer, it came to me with the rear wheel already on from xxl. Side note - The front wheel is extremely easy to remove and put back on since it came without it installed and I'm the one who did that job.

I tried with a small park tool with no luck, and a power drill with no luck either. Any suggestions? Maybe take it to a bike shop and have them take a shot at it?

You must ensure the hex key is stuck deep into the axle and also use a long shaft key to aply force. Prolly mounted w/ too much force.
I've just got one of these:

So I can't use much force with this small tool.

The nut on the front wheel is very easy to come off and put back on without much effort so it makes me think it was mounted with a power tool...

If you have a larger wrench... you can take apart your allen key tool and just use the right size allen key.
Tighten the wrench on the rounded end of the allen key (the noose?)
The wrench should be parallell with the bike.
