support the sprocket between 2 blocks of wood or something similar, then insert a wooden dowel or something slightly smaller than the spindle and pound the spindle down and out.
Try not to ding up the spindle.

"vice clamps" or vice grips WILL damage the spindle for sure.

You need to support the sprocket as close to the spindle as you can, with the spindle dangling free, so you can hit it down and out from the arm. A vice might work if you have one big enough, open the jaws so the spindle dangles between them then hit it.

Try using a wooden dowel or something similar to minimize damage to the end of the spindle.
