I assume you want to replace the shaft??? The easiest way is to grind 2 flats onto the shaft and undo with a shifter. If you want to take out the shaft and use it again then you will need to make a tool from an old bush. It will need a cap welded onto it so that you can tighten up the bush onto the shaft and then unscrew the shaft.
