@LarryinYuma, welcome here, two(2) pinchbolts, each side has one of those. Are 6mm bolts with an 5mm allen head. Axle is to be removed towards LH side of fork (front brake caliper removed).
Two? Man, I must be asleep! Gotta go look now! You spoiled my evening.....boo, hooo!
Yes. Spacers. Draw a picture of all spacers, where they were and orientation.
You will want to have your bike on the center stand on a 1/2" thick board. Either weight the rear seat or top box to raise the front. You could also put a box or something under the floor area to hold the front wheel up the first time you do this. You will see once you pull that axle out the bike naturally settles back on the rear tire.

If you plan on keeping your scoot for a while, consider buying a Cyclepedia manual. They're about $40 bucks, but are model specific, and have detailed instructions and diagrams. I just pulled my X-Town 300 apart to change headlights, and the manual was extremely helpful.
The reason your axle bolt won't turn is there is a pinch bolt that has to be loosened first. It's on the same side the big Allen wrench goes to unscrew the axle.
