I was hitting it alright ! and heating it with the torch before it finally came off. It was on there but good ! After looking at the gear once it was off I could see small gouge marks on the shaft and gear. I believe who ever originally installed it didn't use any assembly lube and just rammed it on with a big press.I'm sure you know it, but once your at the high end of pressure applied, sometimes a simple smack of a (brass) hammer gets things to let go. Something about the shock resonating through the part. Heat works good too.
