How do I remove the nut from a schwinn bicycle?


Just get off. (really couldn't resist that one)

I'm assuming you have a nutted front wheel. In that case, simply loosen the nuts on both sides (turn counter clockwise with the wrench -- may take some force), and slide the wheel down and out of the fork. If the wheel has been there a long time, it can be a bit stuck, so loosen by pushing the rim side to side at the top until it's free then slide out. (read the rest of this post first)

However, some bikes have caliper brakes which may need to be opened up wider to clear the tire (usually going back in). Also depending on the vintage of the bike there may a form of secondary retention to keep the wheel from falling out when the nuts are loose. This may be a spring clip that latches to a button on the fork, small lips at the bottom of the dropout that requires that the nuts are backed off farther, or some other system.
