I don't know if anyone will agree with me but sometimes you will NEVER get it free. We had a Gilson rear tined tiller that we soaked and beat on so long the guy gave it to us(9 months). Being the type of guy with the "I can do it" attitude, I cut the wheels off with a saw-zall, saved the shaft, and put on Ariens wheels with pnematic tires. I've got a 724 Toro two-stage, that I've got the quick pins out of the axle, that I use for a snowblower(with and without chains). I use all types of "spray and pray" on it every year since we took it in on trade(1992) and they(either side) never broke free. Some repair jobs,I've cut them off at the axle, heated them cherry red and in the arbor press I still couldn't get the stub to move. But yes, some do come apart. An aircraft bit and drilling between the axle and the wheel help get rust penatrant down there. GOOD LUCK and keep beat'in
