Issue with sequoia restore

I'm in the process of restoring a sequoia and have come upon a hurdle.  I don't want to damage the wood but I'd like to remove the axel.  Thoughts?

That is actually a sleeve so the wheel fits, lots of pb blaster and let it soak do this several times. You may need to heat with torch but it should come off

@JEBIV I'm going to start the treatment.  Thank you
