Hi guys
The spindle has been released!!!
I took all your advice and bought some penetrating spray from Bunnings.It seems they have an vested interest in WD40 and 3 plus products by the same maker.However they did have a can of "Reducteur H72" described as a Super releasing agent, releases rusted parts in 30 seconds.I decided to give it a go and at $29 it wasn't cheap.
I gripped the spindle in the vice and sprayed liberally into each end then left it while I had lunch.When I came back i could see the outline of the spindle in the cast iron end.I thought this looked promising do I gripped the cast iron end in the vice at it's centre as I didn't want to break it and turned the spindle with a large stillson wrench.
It moved a bit so I got more spray into it and moved it the other way.I did this for a few minuted back and forward until it came right out.
I did the same at the other end and released it without damage.

The spindle is 1/2 inch diameter and could be replaced if I can find a source.Otherwise I will reuse this one.
The next step is to find the measurements for the wooden rollers so I can try and get some made.
thanks
