What shape is the shaft in? Shine it up so don't have extra crap to put
thru the bearing and use some good penetrating oil--something other than
WD40 that will actually have a chance of getting wicked in.
Then, if you don't care about possibly wiping the bearings, a bigger
hammer is the tool if don't have press or can't cobble up something out
of the scrap pile to use w/ a hand jack or don't want to take it to a
machine shop.
