The splines are threaded at the outer end, as you can see by the parts that are exposed.
This job responds much better to steady torque than to hammering on chain whip handles.
My favorite way is to arrange the whips so the handles are roughly 180° apart, lay the wheel on a bench, braced against my belly, and pull the chips towards me.
Or you can clamp one whip in a vise, with the business end hanging out the side. Then set up the wheel and use the other to try to turn it.
