if that doesn't work, use a clamp to squeeze the Vbelt together to lock the
spindle (dont' use the spindle lock or indexing pin for risk of damage) and
repeat the impact process - if you can hit it right, one hard smack ought to
do it.

I tried using a vice and strap wrench but hadn't thought of a sharp
impact. Thanks for the tip. It's kind of moot now because the older
lathe is used rarely, and only for spindle work. I think I will give
it a try though just to get the sattisfaction of finally freeing it.
