 Few squirts of GT85,use a crank puller if you have one.

aint got a puller
never needed one

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)

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.

ARRGHH crap wanted it off tonight 
dont suppose there is a way without the puller is there??
im an impatient git

drift it out with an extention bar dwain  as long as its narrower than the inside of the crank arm
beat the hell out of that

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.

finally sorted it 

after wellying it with a hammer as big as my head
and taking a run at it


really didnt like the cheap looking spider so went for a power disk
