Here are clear step-by-step instructions for converting HUNT Bike Wheels' 36-tooth ratchet hub system from quick release (QR) to 12mm through-axle:

1. Gather necessary parts:
Hub with 36-tooth ratchet system
12mm through-axle end caps (one longer, one shorter)

2. Remove the quick release end caps:
Apply firm pressure and pull the end caps directly off the hub
No tools are required, but some force may be needed

3. Identify the new through-axle end caps:
Longer end cap: Goes on the non-drive side (rotor side)
Shorter end cap: Goes on the drive side

4. Install the new through-axle end caps:
Push the longer end cap onto the non-drive side of the hub
Push the shorter end cap onto the drive side of the hub

5. Ensure both end caps are securely seated on the hub

6. Verify the conversion is complete and the hub is ready for a 12mm through-axle
