Default Blaster - Spindle won't come off!

Trying to get the spindle removed from the lower A-arm - but the SOB is on there good. (Yes, I removed the cotter pin and nut [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] ) I've used all kinds of WD-40 on it and beat the crap out of it with a mallet and neither one will budge - any ideas? I'm thinking might be time for a little heat?

Yeah, gonna take down to my brothers first and try his vise - might be able to use it like a press. If that doesn't work I'll put some heat to it - gotta be careful not to burn the rubber boot on the arm though. If I do that I might as well just buy new a-arms. Thanks for the input guys.
