Success!!! AFter a week long soak in release fluid, both cranks popped off no problem.
One of the cages in the bearings had rusted away due to a missing seal on the cartridge.
One new sealed cartridge later, the cranks now spins without a wobble and with so much less resistance, I'll be adding to my average speed!

It helped in so much as I knew I was doing the right thing after reading what was on here, just needed a bit more umph - and the small end of the extractor!
Lots of copper slip on all the threads and crank axles.
You get a lot of satisfaction fixing things yourself
