Well using any type of oil on them just locks the rust into the spindles. You need a rosebud big enough to get the entire outer pipe red hot. Then hammer on the outside to knock the roust out and to stretch it some. Hitting the spindle on top will rarely work. It just usually mushrooms the top. Heat the tube while knocking on the sides to try and get the rust to fall out. QUIT spraying it with lube as that just locks the rust in. Then while hot along with knocking on the tube try working the spindle back and forth. I often take the wheel bearings off and find a pipe large enough in diameter to slide over the spindle. Make sure it is long enough to give you some leverage. Work on turning the spindle back and forth.
I have only had one in the last 30 years I could not get loose with heat and working it. I had to split the outer tube on that one. The trouble with that is you really run the risk of the tube shrinking when you weld the tube. The new weld will contract. This can bind the spindle. So I try and not cut them in possible.
