I agree with Scilly.Suffolk and would add that a little heat (hot airgun or hair dryer) can work wonders. Don't over do it though. In this case I suspect the metals of the axle and nuts are the same so the effect may not be as good as with different metals. I don't have an airgun or hair dryer so have used hot water before to assist in freeing stuck items. I wouldn't advise using an open flame though.
