Stuck QR adaptor

Hopefully someone can give me a fix, trying to change my rear wheel from QR to thruaxle and I can't get one of the old adaptors off!!! I have tried spraying with WD40 but no go. The non drive side on comes off easy though.

 

The adaptors are the type where you insert allan keys either end to loosen/tighten.

What hub

 

Once you've got the non drive side off, it's possible the entire axle with the drive side needs to come off, it normally give a slight tap with rubber mallet, before pulling out with my hands

It's a Thirteen hub, Greg Minaar house brand, similar to hope apparently.

 

Must say it is very frustrating, has stopped my entire build completely! Without a back wheel can't do gears or brakes or even ride the bike, and I've waited so long! But it will just make that first ride more sweet!

So probably rebranded novatec hubs

 

Similar to Superstar hubs, close to hopes yes but not quite.

 

Then what i said is what needs to happen, the entire axle with the freehub comes off, then with a vice and a slight jab from a rubber mallet the freehub will come off the axle that's what you left with, the drive side cap and the axle is complete
