It helps let the axel down on a solid block of wood, that way the big hammer gives more impact to the king pin.

Too much beating just swells things and makes it worse. You should be using a press.

I got a little more aggressive with the heat and it drove right out!

Lots of penetrating oil and I have a 20 ton press, they just popped out. I have found more uses for the press over the years. Worth the money.
