Seized front axle

[sheepy]

I tied to remove my front wheel today to just do some general maintenance. Front wheel bearings.
Tyre change
Fork seals
Well anyway when I went to remove the front axle it seems like the center bush has seized on to the axle I?ve tried knocking it out with a socket while pulling on the other side but no luck just spreading the forks apart I tried adding a little heat but still no luck I don?t want to damage the forks by spreading them to much or anything. Has anyone made a puller with some tube and threaded bar so you could pull out the axle without spreading the forks?
Also anyone know the numbers off the bearings so I can order them ready for when it finally comes apart ?
