Assuming the arms are off, squirt loads of wd40 in between spindle/bearings, then twat away!
Probably rusted in a bit.

put the crank bolt back in then hit it with hammer so as not to damage the axle .they are quite tight but once moving it gets easier

Poor boiling water over the crank end, alloy expands quicker than steel so you should be able to get some "give" on them  :daumenhoch:

Be sure to use a woodne/rubber/plastic mallet as these need alot and i mean of hitting to get off! even with WD40 :daumenhoch:
