At your local plumbing supplies or builders merchant, buy an aerosol can of pipe freezer. Empty the whole can over the arbour, concentrating on the inboard end.

Promptly (while the arbor is still cold0 give the (loosened) drawbar a sharp rap on the knuckles with a proper hammer. No point at this stage in using a soft faced hammer, it's got serious. Make sure the drawbar is still engaged with the thread in the tail of the arbour — you don't want to wreck the thread on the end of the drawbar, that just creates another level of complication.

Hit it like you mean it. A club hammer (2 lbs) might be overdoing it, but we're not playing pat-a-cake here.

Hopefully the little blighter will oblige. If not, rinse and repeat.

Good luck

I easily and simply remove the arbor from my 2B with a pair of wedges. Arceuro sell them if you can’t make them(check for fit).
