Super Noob here again with another one for you all

Ok i have removed the spindle bolt on the drive side as you can see. I have had the crank puller on it and despite developing an extra testicle i cannot get the spindle out of the Drive side crank arm. Is there something else stopping it or should it come off with more force or a sharp smack.
Once i get the spindle out i can remove the spyder and sand it and remove the bearing race and clean it and the spindle.
Thanks Guys...

I will give it another go with more leverage(i will get the wife to nag it whilst i heave)
If it still wont go i will take it to the gentle giant who removed my pedals for me

thanks guys

i took my crank arms off yesterday the non drive side came off a piece of piss but the drive side was stuck like yours, i used oxy and accetylene gas bottles in the end .put old bolt in shaft and wind in leaving enough of a gap to fit nozzle then warm up little at a time (dont get to hot because of alloy spider) i put arm across vice and tapped with a hammer on bolt and after a couple of goes i came out i think heat will be better than force as i have seen shafts break!!!

Plus Gas and crank puller......Its out

I nearly broke my shaft pulling on that crank tool too

Ooooh me plums :o
Whole thing is stripped... spyder is now sanded. Bearings will join the pedals in Alans deep oil bath.
I should have it rebuilt by next week....

Cheers Guys...
