Hit hard with soft faced mallet (lead, hide).

It can be easier with the wheel off the ground.

If you look here: viewtopic.php?t=657&highlight=spinner+tool

You'll see quite a discussion about spinner tools. I recently got one from Lionel and am please with it, inexpensive and good quality. The soft mallet does the job also
