If corded electric, make sure it’s unplugged, or remove the battery if it has one.
If you’re having trouble with the bolt, hit it with a bit of PB Blaster (also available at Walmart and auto parts stores) and let it sit for a bit. That’s a far better penetrating oil than WD-40.
If it’s still stuck, have a friend hold the blade while you crank on it with a wrench that has a longer handle, or put a pipe over the wrench you’re using (a “cheater bar”).
If that still fails, it’s time to buy an impact wrench/driver and a set of impact sockets. Never pass up an opportunity to buy tools! If you’ve already got cordless power tools from another brand, you can likely find an impact wrench that takes the batteries you’ve got. I just happen to be a Bosch fan.
Also, make sure you’re using the right size wrench. You don’t want to round off that bolt.
Someone mentioned jamming wood under the blade to hold it still while you’re wrenching on it. That seems like a fine idea.
I had this problem recently, turned out that a small rock had snuck into the threads and jammed in there.
The solution was to use a bunch of this shit while the bike was on its side. Hit the axle from the ends as hard as you dare with a non-metal thing like a mallet and keep reapplying blaster a few times over a couple hours. Once you run out of patience, get the best fitting wrench you can in there and cross your fingers while you yank on it.
For severe corrosion, try some penetrating oil like
PB Blaster.
