I've got a pushrod from some old motor that I sometimes use as its got a nice domed head that sits in the hollow spindle end. But my spindle can be pulled out by hand. Are you sure that yours is a) greased, b) not bent and c) there are no burrs in the alloy spacer tube in the wheel?

I use a single ended 600ss spindle in my early 750ss alloy swingarm, for what that's worth!
