I’ve got ohlins forks and they have a pinch bolt you need to loosen before unscrewing the axle - not sure if yours is the same?

It sounds like it has been done up tight, and maybe ungreased. If it has been exposed to road-salt you could have corrosion too. Be careful trying to undo it. You don't want to damage the fork lowers. If you are struggling, seek help from a decent bike shop.
