Good advice. However I think you need a bigger chisel and hammer as that method should work.

The chisel method usually tears up the mating surface between the spindle and the knuckle. The TTB D50 spindle has a larger retaining lip, and can be a struggle.
easiest method is to use a spindle puller. Two types, the slide hammer design, and the press. It uses the axle as the anchor.
Each one works wonders and will not risk the possibility of damaging the threads or bearing surface.
I see many spindles ruined because the BFH was used.
BFH has its place, but the spindle can be compromised if it is used to aggressively.
