The spindle is wedged in the bearings? Pour hot/boiling water on the bearings and gently tap the spindle with a wooden or rubber mallet to remove. The water will cause the bearing race to expand slightly

Just drift the spindle out with a rubber mallet, it can feel like it wont go. But a bit of gentle persuasion is all that is needed
Are you building a new bike then Cotty.
