Hey yeah...there ya go...[8D]
I used a "Carburetor screwdriver" which has a longer shank...close to a foot long w/ the handle...easy to hold on to and the handle is easy to hit w/ the small hammer.
6 of one...half a dozen 'o the other...
Some of the engines I have worked on were sitting in a damp basement for a couple decades...so they were rusty, and some were varnished in addition to the rust...those rear bearings were NOT gonna budge with the "whack it on a block of wood" method...more agressive persuasion required.
