If you have a empty spool take the sides off and use long screws (or bolts if you prefer) to attach them to whatever remains of the existing sides and then re-spool it.
I have also seen people make crosses out of 2x12’s to do essentially the same thing with a hole for the spindle. Or 2x6’s spaced to make a hole for the spindle.
