The register is only about 2.5mm long on a mini lathe, it really shouldn't be possible to jam it on. I assume you have all the nuts off…
Put a bit of wood to protect the bed then tap it with a rubber mallet or a bit of wood and it should fall off – assuming you have undone the nuts.
Just a thought – you do realise its bolted to the flange and the flange is a solid piece with the spindle?
