I've tried that and nothing is happening. Like, it's not budging and I'm twatting fuck out of the axle with a mallet.
ketsbaia-
Are you holding the wheel or is it resting on something? If the latter, make sure the axle and bearing aren’t resting on anything, only the hub shell. Also check you’ve removed all the bits from the axle side you’re hitting.
If still no dice, add wd40 or a penetrating oil to the bearings, let sit, then hit.

you remove the QR from the axle. one side of the axle should face upward/to you, the hub-bearing covers are removed so that you can see your red rubber bearing covers. now hold the hubshell firmly in one hand and hit the axle with a mallet. you should see the opposite bearing coming out of the hubshell with each hit. repeat until axle with bearing falls out. remove bearing from axle, re-insert the axle in hub, remove other side bearing.
