Front Wheel:
If you have two wrenches that fit onto the outer nuts, remove those nuts. Then look to the inside of the fork. Is there an extra metal tab in there? Many mid-80 Schwinns had them. You can't remove the wheel without first removing the Phillips head screw that holds both the tabs and the wheel itself on both sides.
