It only "happened to me" because it's been that way since I got it. Believe me, I've whacked on it a few times, built pullers, etc. but nothing works. Even considered boring it out in a morse taper fashion to get it "thin" and then whack on it some more. Hope the dry ice gets it done!

I think you should get the spindle out of the headstock & bearings so you can heat it and then drive the adapter out with a piece of 3/4" rod. I've never heard of a spindle adapter getting that hammered or rusted in before. Are you sure that someone didn't weld/solder it in? Believe it or nuts, that I've seen
And hey, since you got it apart, new belt's?
