i'd heat the spindle as it might cause some damage to the chrome on the arm.  seen someone do it on youtube where he heated it with a blow torch then dipped it in ice water and repeated that a few times  :daumenhoch:

Betty:
That was diggler's advice to a similar problem.... sprocket bolt seized

Must admit i've not tried it... sprocket's still stuck to the crank arm...  ;D

diesel:
I've had this before:

Buy a long pedal spanner, put the spanner and the crank down so that they make a upside down V (^) raised from the floor you might need to get someone to hold them or prop them with their foot.

press down with your foot on the top of the 'V'

Remember that pedals always tighten in a forward motion, so that when you pedal the pedal is kept tight.

That means that the non-drive side will untighten clockwise if you are looking at it side on.

crazycraig:
Think i may try the heat route ..........

Whats the worst case scenario here .......... I end up with an Andy Patterson JMC with suntour XC's on or even worse lose a crank set  :'(
