Only a bolt on one crank. Am I supposed to beat this axle out with a hammer and 2×4? The other bike has bolts on both sides.

Should have a crank arm puller you can thread in and hit the other side out, mine just comes out with no effort
Is it a fixed arm attached to the axle, so a 2pc crank?
If not then the arm should still come off with a crank tool.
you only need to remove one arm, typically it should wiggle out at this point.
The BSD Substance cranks are a 2.5 piece design which means only one arm is supposed to come off while other is permanently pressed onto the spindle, so you’re all good.
Rubber Mallot should bump it out without damaging it if you don’t have a puller
Did you whack it hard enough?
2 pc cranks. I had eclat tibia 2 pc cranks. They should just slide out. Since yours is not you probably will have to get a 2×4 and hammer like you said. If it’s really jammed in there that bearing will probably come out with it but let’s hope not,
Try hitting it with your purse, it’ll come out.
