Got new tires and replaced the front one easily but I have no idea how to remove the rear wheel because it is single speed. Anything helps.

loosen the bolts, push the wheel into the dropouts, the chain should be loose then turn your cranks and pull the chain off of your sprocket after that pull your wheel out

If its already slammed in the droip outs. You have to pop the chain off. Its kinda scary but that's the only way unless you have a master link and can easily remove it

Or you can take your sprocket off

I do have a master link but do not know how to do it. All the videos online talk about popping the pins out but do not show how to use the master link. I would prefer not to take the sprocket off.

I hate using my finger to slide the masterlink plate, I usually use my multi-tool or a tire lever.

i've never had a wheel so slammed forward and chain so tight that i had to take the chain off just to get the wheel off. just use a screwdriver or something and as you rotate the cranks use the screwdriver to derail the chain.... try not to mash any sprocket teeth though. still, it's not that hard.
