You need to apply pressure to the stud then hit the spindle with a hammer, not too hard though.

I used a makeshift tool using the nut from the stud and a socket, I don't remember exactly how I did it though:ermm:

ok i got a socketwedged inbetween the top and botom of the srocket and am using the nut as a type of crank, i turned it uot untill i couldnt anymore so the socket is wedged in there and puting pressure ont the stud. ive hit the a arm with the mallet and the spindle but still aint moving at all

Use a regular hammer but not so hard that it damages the spindle.

i just said screw it and wraped of the entire spindle, it works its just harder to move it around when im painting it
