Shouldn't be a problem...there should be a place for your wrench on the top part of the lower shaft, then what I do is take a rag and wrap it around the insulator under the coil and then place a pair of vice-grip pliers over the rag so the teeth of the pliers don't scratch up the insulator...then just give it a turn till it pops loose...when installing the new shaft, you don't necessarily have to place the pliers back on the insulator, you can get another wrench at place it just above the coil on the top section, then give it a turn to tighten it up...that's provided the top section has a place to put your wrench...some do, some don't.

Now if there's a place for a wrench on both the top and bottom shafts just above and below the coil, you can just try and loosen the bottom shaft by placing your wrenches on the two shafts...only problem is, you have a 50/50 chance the bottom one coming loose before the top.
