I use a G clamp. The cotter pin nut is loosened to use as a surface to clamp against and a larger nut is placed over the pin on other side. The spanner handle was used to create extra leverage.
They sometimes take a while to pop loose. I've often given up and walked away leaving the G clamp applying pressure and then heard a crack a few minutes later.
