piccy of the offending arm please, if the crank arm is threaded where the bolt came from then you need a crank puller as James says, if it is not threaded (like profiles) then you need a profile installation/removal tool (about £5 from custom riders)
Whats the matter Kid, don't ya like clowns? Don't we make you laugh? Aint we fukkin funny?

profile removal  tool dwain ,i know how stuck yours is but i could get that off in 20 seconds with one
you screw it in then bash hard as hell to the end of the bolt and it will slide off nicely.

yep but you dont pull it of with that you screw the arm on to the spindle with it
or screw it fully in and bash the thing to push the spindle out.
