this thread deserves pictures ๐Ÿ™‚

no, you can probably get away with just the drive side BB cup coming off and replace the spacer with the guide plate if it's a BB mount one.

if you're 100% sure that the thread is undone then give the other end of the axle a tap and see if it shifts it?

A little force is required.

Ask you local tool shop for a long weight.
When you are fed up off waiting around you should be naffed off enough to go home and 'Use The Force Luke'!
