Replacing bearings in wf240p

So far so good .. but cannot separate the drum spindle from the rear bearing. I see mention here on another question that a sledge hammer had to be used before success? I've not reached that stage yet but copious amounts of penetrating fluid, persuasion with a mallet and carefully administered heat hasn't helped me so far. Any advice?

    Hold the inner and outer tub about 12 to 24 inches above a hard block of wood and allow to drop onto the end of the spindle. The shock and inertia will usually release it.
