If they turn free they should come out.

I have put bolts back into the spindles without the large flat washers, and used a large drive punch or steel rod and hammer them out.  Make sure you bottom the bolts out.  This can wreck the bolts, but save the spindles.

The spindles have a bushing at the top and one at the bottom. In between them is , well, nothing. I have seen them accumulate rust in there and make them tough to get out.  Lots of penetrating fluid......
